Maybe I can send you some patches if you are willing to accept them. Note that I'm not saying that I will add nice names to all commands/options/sections in the ARM. However I can add names to sections I'm interested in as I go over them. For this, it would be nice to have something like nightly build of docs so I can send you a patch and use the link with nice name the next day or something like that. I'm not going to send you docs patches if I have to wait months to see the nice link on an server because I will have to use the ugly name or copy the text anyway. I'm looking forward for further cooperation on this. Have a nice day! -- Petr Spacek @ Red Hat
