I'm very strongly in favor of having this documentation.  However, I think
it might make sense to put "Contrib Modules" as a section under either
"Reference" or "Appendices".  Also, I don't think it's necessary to make
each command option a separate subchapter, but I can see how that would be
hard to avoid in an automated system.

It's not an automated system, README files have different structures so it's all manual work. That's why I asked how you think it should be organized. Anyone else thinks we should put it in Reference or Appendixes?

I would far rather have a new top level heading. Something like "Standard Modules and Tools". (Please avoid the use of the word "contrib"). If not, than as a sub-chapter of "References". I don't think it belongs in the Appendixes.

cheers
