[arch-dev-public] News draft: Manual pages indexing service
Hey all, lahwaacz made a service for collecting and displaying manpages from our packages that we now operate at man.archlinux.org. I believe this is news-post worthy. --- Title: man.archlinux.org is live We are happy to announce our newest public service: A manual pages indexing site at [man.archlinux.org](https://man.archlinux.org) that publishes all man pages of all our packages and allows you to [search](https://man.archlinux.org/search) and [browse](https://man.archlinux.org/listing) them. Check out, for example, the [man page of tar](https://man.archlinux.org/man/core/tar/tar.1.en). You can also find a link to this service in our sidebar. Thanks to Wiki Admin [lahwaacz](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Lahwaacz) for developing [archmanweb](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archmanweb) for this purpose. While there are other man page indexing sites out there, it is our hope that publishing man pages that match the version of our released packages makes Arch more accessible and that it improves our documentation even further. --- Thoughts? Cheers, Sven

I would suggest "..makes Arch more accessible and improves our documentation even furhter." Isn't "that it" redundant here? Nice work! Thanks again for fixing this :)<3 -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16

How about: While there are other man page indexing sites out there, it is our hope that publishing man pages matching the versions of our released packages further improves Arch accessibility and documentation.

Typo'd. I wanted to write: "that publishes the man pages of all our packages and allows you to"
