If the maintainer of the homepage agree with that, i will be happy ... :)

It could be very hard to get a centralized document of configuration
scripts. But there will be a dozen differant ways to make a panel with
FVWMButtons for example. How do you want to deal with that in a
centralized document? I think you talk about a manual but i want seomthing for
configuration. In the moment all of these things are put in the
faq. Okay for the moment ... but a faq could become very unreadable if
add a dozen alternatives for every problem on it ...
