Open Source Documentation, Online

Over the last few years I’ve noticed that I waste a good
amount of time trying to find up to date documentation for many of
the programs I come into contact with.
Either an engineer
didn’t install the doc’s, or I’ve only heard a little bit about a
piece of software and want to find out more without the hassle of
downloading.

“So to solve this problem and have some fun while doing it, I
threw together a couple of perl scripts and started archiving
opensource documentation. In addition, I’ve made the entire
repository searchable for greater utility.”

“I hope you like it.”

Here is the link to the
site.
