Kwalitee

Nik,

I'm wary of metrics as I've seen way too many organizations optimize for the
metric instead of focussing on the real thing.

That said, it would be cool to have a web page where we could look up the
current 'kwalitee' of our documentation.

I like all of these.

Here are some more suggestions:

For users:

Metric:       Number of undocumented programs
Rationale:  Every program should have a manual page.  whatis(1) should
                  "just work".

And for programmers trying to use FreeBSD, the following:

Metric:       Number of undocumented APIs
Rationale:  Every visible symbol in our libraries should have a description
                  in a manual page.

Metric:       Number of undocumented kernel APIs
Rationale:  Same as above.

The intent for these two is to make FreeBSD a nice platform to develop on.
