Well, I'm Austrian.  This is even more beautiful :-)

Can someone from polis@ comment this, please?  How can we set up
test pages?  And may I ask to give him an account so that he can
access the groff related HTML stuff?

Exactly.

No, we haven't.  But it is possible to do so if you wish.
Nevertheless, I doubt that it very useful (expect that you plan to
integrate a lot of dynamic stuff into the HTML pages).

You mean writing HTML pages with groff?  Then I suggest you contact
Gaius directly so that he knows what you need.
