The summary you provide below is very impressive, thanks for compiling it. It would be a nice addition to worg, with a date attached to it of course! It's bound to go stale at some point :-p. However I would like to point out, the documentation for many of these extensions is rather spreadout and thin. So I agree with Rasmus, as in, contrib is much more accessible, but I think it also encourages authors to contribute documentation on worg (after all it's in the official repository). That said, I'm not sure why some of the extensions, like ox-reveal, are _not_ in contrib. AFAIU, it's quite mature.
