On the subject of package documentation, 
http://docs.racket-lang.org/pkg/catalog-protocol.html appears to be incorrect 
when it says that:
        The source for the PLT-hosted package catalog is in the 
        (collection-file-path "pkg-catalog" "meta") directory of the 
        full Racket distribution.

My installation tells me that collection is not found.

It looks like the source is actually provided by the package "pkg-index".
