Good work. Just pointing things I think can be changed:

We don't have a search interface

The URL's should be shorted than

http://publictest1.fedora.redhat.com/mitwi/index.cgi?man=./man/mann/ansi_cctrl.n.html&rel=F-7

Something like the following would be better

docs.fedoraproject.org/man/<page>

which then lists the release and version numbers on top with the latest 
man page listed below automatically would work well

Will these information be indexable by search engines or are you 
generating them on fly? Indexable static content that are periodically 
updated would be better.

You can talk to the websites team for using a better CSS. A standard 
template was posted last week in fedora-websites list.
