But how to share these man pages and how to search for man pages written by others? I can share my man pages with git/github, but nobody will notice them, nobody will fix my spelling errors or contribute additional information. Is there something like wiki, but for man pages? |

yes. it's the source repo for whatever app you want improved man pages on. Everyone can submit changes to it. All the good ones get merged in. It's effectively a wiki curated by the most knowledgeable people on the subject.
um solves a different problem though. It's not trying to make a _common_ man page. It's trying to make a man page that works _for you_. What _you_ need to be highlighted is likely different from what _I_ need to be highlighted.
Personally I don't _want_ a generic wiki man page for stuff. I like the man pages written by the creators of the code (because i know they're correct), combined with my notes highlighting what's important to me.
