I’m open for doing work on the manual.

We have one already.  With mostly fine man pages and some papers, some 
of them not quite up to date, with the potential of putting even more 
material in there.

I’m mostly talking about the framework around it, the “Programmer’s 
Manual” part, the title page and ToC, the notion of one manual.  And 
that, we already have (see tcp!9p.zone!9991 /humm/print.pdf).

If we do want to keep that, we could also migrate stuff from the FQA 
there or merge them completely or do whatever else with it.
