To my eye, they look exactly how a (terse) man page /should/ look like.
All the extra (verbose) detail is then left to an info page or a web link.

The web link to the pretty and greater detail is good. Especially so if
those pages are lynx friendly?...


Having Boinc wrapped up as a proper Linux install package is a very
welcome improvement over the command-line installer. Giving a
'single-click' install is very important to get wider adoption!

Looks good,
