The state of online indices of manual pages is a sad one. Existing sites
only offer you a single version of a man page: From one origin, and often
only in a single language. Most don't even tell you where the manual
actually originated from, making it very hard to determine whether the
manual you found actually applies to your situation and even harder to find
a manual from a specific system. Additionally, some sites render the manuals
in an unreadable way, don't correctly handle special formatting - like
tables - or don't correctly display non-ASCII characters.
<br /><br />
Manned.org was created in order to improve this situation. This site aims to
index the manual pages from a variaty of systems, both old and new, and
allows you to browse through the various versions of a manual page to find
out how each system behaves.

I'd love to index the manuals of most major Linux distributions in the
future. In the short term, this means all Debian and Fedora releases will
future. In the short term, this means all Fedora and OpenSUSE releases will
get indexed. In the long term, many others may be added as well.

It would also be great to index a few non-Linux systems such as *BSD,
