Hey talk --<br>
<br>
For those of you who don't know - mdocml is becoming the way to handle man pages now on the different BSDs (though it's much more than just a groff replacement). The DragonFly BSD Digest has a really nice sum-up of the current happenings of mdocml on the different projects:<br>
<a href="http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/2013/10/07/12575.html" target="_blank">http://www.shiningsilence.com/<u></u>dbsdlog/2013/10/07/12575.html</a><br>
<br>
OpenBSD and NetBSD have already switched to mdocml; DragonFly looks like it's about ready to make the switch. FreeBSD has it in their tree, though I'm unsure as to its usage status on FreeBSD.<br>
<br>
This is the perfect example of a *BSD grown (in this case, upstream is now OpenBSD) solution that is being enhanced by all the different projects and showcases cross pollination between the projects.<br>
<br>
Plus it's central to documentation - something we all value greatly as members of the *BSD community at large.<br>
<br>
We were talking about mdocml in IRC last night and the suggestion came up about doing an mdocml talk, since this is a technology that no matter what *BSD you use, you encounter.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, mdocml is a bit outside what I do and I don't think I'd be able to do the topic justice. However, if someone from one of the projects who is doing work on mdocml would like to give a talk, I think it would be a perfect fit for NYC*BUG.<br>
