I think pagination may still be an issue but I completely agree that each page should be about a specific topic. > If we want to conjunct all the into a whole, then info is the > solution. I think info is hard to use as well, but it "just > works". There are also other info frontend like pinfo. I agree info pages are much better than man pages for an integrated whole. But IMO HTML is even better because I'm more used to the UI. I see the man pages as our third line of defense to get help to the user somehow. I'm hoping there might be a way to automatically or semi-automaticaly create the man pages or some easy way to keep the man pages and the web pages in sync, otherwise it is going to be a continuing pain.
