Hi Stefan, The "new" way of getting the word out is to write a module as a quicklisp's quickproject package and then advertise a link to it. Users can then obtain their module however you distribute it, and load it using (load-module "module-name") in their stumpwmrc. There are lots of examples of modules that define new mode-line format strings in the contrib repo: https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm-contrib
I need to write up a tutorial for writing new modules. The general pattern is (quasi-pseudo code): (ql:quickload "quickproject") (quickproject:make-project "~/path/to/project") ;; hack on files in project.lisp If the project lives in "/path/to/contrib/util/monitor" then you should be able to (load-module "monitor") if not, you will have to add the location of your module to the "load-path" I've created a wiki page on the contrib repo that you can use to advertise your module: https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm-contrib/wiki/User-Contributed-Modules Include in your docs instructions for setting up and using the module (don't use other modules as examples, most of them don't ship with any information, though there are exceptions). Also, emailing the list is another great way to advertise new modules.
