OK, I agree it fits better on the contributors page, probably at the end 
of the Make a Package section. Also, Extras/MainPagePackaging

I'm still thinking that the Packaging/Guidelines could specifically 
mention the Contributors page, since people should be informed that it 
exists, and should probably be referring to it during package 
development. It would then become a one liner section.

Perhaps this is against the grain of the "solid as brick" 
PackagingGuidelines notion ? But if I am creating a package I think it 
wise for the PG to direct me to the 'how' as well ? {increased 
productivity, standardized way of doing things}

ps. If there is no further comment within a few days, I'll update the 
editable pages, or should I just do it anyway, and let the changes be 
reviewed through any adjustments/correction being made through other 
people edits ?
