Try http://www.emacswiki.org - it had a few items on a couple of
different folding modes. 

Just FYI - the newer folding modes take advantage of emacs overlays
and have the potential of being better, but the last time I looked,
the mode was still pretty much beta. The older folding mode was quite
good, but then it was 'enhanced' and I found it wasn't as stable. Last
time I looked, the wiki pages had information about both newer and
older folding modes.
