Thanks a lot!  I've added it to the CVS.  Please check my revisions.

My idea is to have a complete and exhaustive reference of all programs
in groff (with examples), including documentation of all requests and
registers of troff; macro packages should be referenced only in a
short form (but complete).  There should be no tutorial staff IMHO.
In addition, I want tutorials on macro packages written in the
particular macro package.  Some of them are already here:
groff_man.man, groff_mdoc.man, meintro.me.  Others should follow -- I
hope you all can contribute!

Larry's ms.ms document is a good starting point; a reference of pic
to be put into groff.texinfo should be extracted from pic.ms.

Etc. etc.
