Since the tutorial is really the better place to start learning how to use xmonad, X.D.Extending can be the place for more "advanced" usage examples. These would be things like writing small functions to scratch an itch (rather than entire modules). Rewrite the introduction accordingly. On the way, remove some small inconsistencies/dead links/remarks about how things are different from version 0.5 onwards—these times are long gone now.
xmonad-contrib
Community-maintained extensions for the XMonad window manager.
xmonad core is minimal, stable, yet extensible. xmonad-contrib is home to hundreds of additional tiling algorithms and extension modules. The two combined make for a powerful X11 window-manager with endless customization possibilities. They are, quite literally, libraries for creating your own window manager.
