In a prior task, a student refined the web interface for apropos.
To finally create a web application, we need a nice design for it. You have to setup the cgi (we will provide the cgi binary) to run on a standard NetBSD (this won't be much work and we can help you with that). You need an installed NetBSD or the Virtualbox image running to do this!
Then, you have to create an appealing design for NetBSD manpages, ie. it should:
* provide eye candy. It should look more modern than just the usual web manpage interfaces, but it also shouldn't be annoying)
* feature the NetBSD colours (grey, orange on white background)
* include free icons/pictograms which depict the manpage section (you have to provide the source for them, we have to know the licence and source)
* create a xhtml-valid template and css file for the cgi.
You don't have to embed the icons, as this is not implemented yet, providing them is sufficient.
Please do not claim this task if you don't have a running NetBSD (either virtual or real)! You will need it to run the cgi.
And please come in our IRC channel (see http://komkon2.de/nbwiki about where and how to get there) when claiming this task to discuss the exact requirements.

The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.
Hey,
The app is done, tested in opera and Firefox. To integrate, the <form> should point to the search page and the "content" div should be filled with the result. The .pngs are referenced in the .stylus and .stylus.css. There's a little bit of javascript in the script.js, that makes the right side buttons work.
:Puck.
Wow, this is an astonishing result. :-)
Anyway, the icons on the right are rather unintuitive (random? ;-). Your task was not to design icons, so it's up to you: Do you want to do icons for this or do you want to take another task? If you want the former, please tell us, then we can create an according task.
Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.
