Today I've been playing with an idea about building better HTML pages from POD files for pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org. You can see the preliminary results in this proof of concept: http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/manual_proof-of-concept/autopkgtest.html The same could be done for manpages.debian.org and have a nice, modern, static, responsive website; with [static] search support, PDF, epub, etc... It's built with Sphinx and the wonderful sphinx_rtd_theme (both are already available as stable packages). The only missing piece would be some man2rst converter, though searching for that gives several promising results. Let me know if you'd like more details. Hope this helps! Alex
