Sometimes things must be remarked.

I'm not the biggest supporter of the Free Software Foundation or of the GNU project in general, their ideology these days is way too extremist for my tastes and, anyway, many people there essentially stopped producing innovative and needed software.

But there is one thing that I'll always praise them on, and this comes directly from their extremist POV: the GNU's projects documentation is almost always freaking good. Things like manuals, real manuals, available in different formats, not the online jokes many projects consider adequate for fucks sake, that essentially no other project provide anymore are a godsend for people like me.

The prime example: I need to refresh my knowledge of GNU roff, GNU's typesetting system, because reasons. Many pdfs comes with the source code and that's fine, but I wanted to read the docs on my amazon Kindle and so I went to the project's documentation page.

"Do you want the PDF for the official manual? Here we go".
"What about an HTML version?"
"Postscript? So you can print it in High Quality?"
"Whatever?"
"All for software freedom".

I took the single page HTML distribution, sent it to my kindle and it looks amazing.

People, take note: we need fucking manuals! Real ones! Not those junky websites where you can't find freaking nothing!

Now, I have some manuals to write for some of my Open Source software.... Ehm.....
