I full agree with Eric here.  ratpoison doesn't try to be everything for everyone, but lets users choose what is best for them.

I think that the proper place for such documentation is the wiki. Because such documentation can be quite dependent on the OS you use, and, for some OS, on the particular version of the OS you use, putting this in the tarball will only call for bit-rot.

The last addition to contrib/ was painful enough, for very limited gain IMO.

Eric Fraga <e.fraga@ucl.ac.uk> adds by mail:

wicd-curses, usbmount, acpi, ...? all there and easily accessible from an xterm or equicalent.  I would suggest that documentation is more important here than actual changes to RP?

Add scripts to contrib for wifi connection, removable media mounting/unmounting, and so forth.  There seems to be quite a lot of stuff that's mentioned in the wiki or elsewhere but left as an exercise to the user.  Users coming to rp from gnome or kde are, I strongly suspect, too often turned away by these details that gnome/KDE handled for them.
