This is a great offer, but I wonder whether it makes sense to use the time you are willing to invest in a better way. . I won't give up on groff.texinfo. This consequently means that we need a groff2texinfo converter (or groff2info to get the more important info files) in case the source files are in groff format. Personally, I *really* like the indexing features of `info' which are quite powerful. I'm not aware of a different indexing system which is freely available (but I must admit that I haven't done an extensive search). Writing such a script/program might be easy, but it probably doubles the amount of time needed for a proper conversion. . groff.texinfo contains quite dry material. It will never become a first-read document. Wouldn't it be more useful to create an introductory document from scratch, probably taking the introductory stuff from groff.texinfo (which would be consequently removed)?
