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
