The result will certainly be more than one page, but i did not make
a draft of the list of pages needed yet.  Most pages would probably
be large, about the size of shell manuals, to keep the number of
pages down and leave information in context.  But there is no doubt
that some reasonable structure can easily be designed, ideally while
doing the actual translation rather than up front.
