Category talk:Contrib
cactus has created a standard for contrib pages, thanks. We should make it clear new pages should adopt the same layout, and make it easy with a template

to be decided
1. page name and location
- wiki:help:Contrib_page_template
2. instructions to author
Lets be consistent, please adopt this format
3. contrib page template
4. How to enter the repository configuration information. I preffer you would use the templates I have made (and create new ones if you need) to be included in the installation documentation for multiple reasons:
a. Changes to repository configuration only have to be made at one place. b. Installation instructions are automatically included (I still need to develop a template to implement this, instead of putting it in each repository template)
You can enter the repository information quite easily by adding the template to your page like this (where Snetram is the name of the repository page)
{{:Snetram}}
This will display on your page like below, between the horizontal lines.
Snetram
A list of repoitories can be found in the Category:Yum_Repository.

Installation
This contrib is currently held in the foo repository, so the following commands will install on your smeserver.

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Go to the foo panel on Server Manager (within the Configuration section) and activate etc.
Uninstall
