   It would be nice if there were a texinfo directory on prep where all the
   gnu texinfo files were available individually. As it is, if I want to
   get the manual for some gnu stuff I have to get the whole distribution. 
   (If there already is such a place I apologise).

It would be nice, but consider the extra time you have to spend here
as part of your contribution to the GNU project.

   Most are pretty short (the lisp manual being a possible exception) so
   the overhead would be small.

file space overhead, yes.  labor overhead, no.

The time it would take to do this is not acceptable to FSF.  It's more
important to devote the time, to writing source code and other more
important tasks, instead of the kind of service that is easy for
anyone to do.  FSF has to concentrate on the tasks that are hard to
do, in order to get GNU finished.

It would be easy for some other archive site to provide this service.
Perhaps someone will step forward and volunteer.

Other possibly useful thing to provide alongside this:
	- would be a full info/ directory fro GNU Emacs of all the GNU
info files with a ready to go info/dir file.
	- texi2roff converted texinfo files.
