Could I ask which documentation you are referring to?  Options might be ...

- man pages in the oss.sgi.com rpms ... these should be OK I believe

[Todd Davis] There are many references in the open source man pages to man
pages for proprietary SGI utilities that are not included in the open source
distribution.

- html tutorial (that I don't think we've released to open source, but
  certainly could ... it is a resource issue, so if someone volunteered
  to audit, cleanup and edit the html we could certainly work together
  on this)
[Todd Davis] 
I would be inclined to help here since I am still learning PCP and would
like to view the tutorial myself. 


- the User and Administrator Guide and the Programmer's Guide from
  techpubs.sgi.com ... the Programmer's Guide is platform agnostic I
  believe, the other Guide is IRIX-centric and we're in the process of
  splitting this into an IRIX version and a Linux version
[Todd Davis] Good. 

- perhaps something else, if so what?
That is all. My main concern is the man pages. The Tutorial would be nice to
have in open source.
