I'd use "other" or "misc" rather than "contrib": after all, the manuals are all (c) FSF and part of Emacs proper. Other than that, this looks reasonable. I am not entirely sure whether "doc" is not intended for plain text documentation. However, it seems less weird than "man". -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
