upgraded man pages

You should really consider to upgrade your man page to something more "up-to-date" than Ubuntu Precise man pages.

How about a "default" version, then the ability to select a version too?

This would allow for Precise vs Saucy, and also expansion to Fedora, Arch etc.

That probably makes sense.

The disadvantage to constantly refreshing them is that some of them have been manually fixed (because the parser doesn't catch all options) and doing that on every release of Ubuntu isn't going to happen. I had ideas on how to semi automate this but it's not going to be trivial.

In the long term, could you crowdsource this? For example, display the current fixed version for xyz command, then at the bottom of the main page you could display "xyz needs your help" and have a page where people could click to select the commands vs descriptions.

I would be happy to, but it requires a fair amount of work to do wisely so e.g. spammers won't ruin everything. I can envision this whole mechanism where users of the site vote for the correct result. But that sounds like a mini project of its own...
