Hi,
I have read another time "Installation" section of the Org Manual from
main branch. I am glad to see that contrib directory is replaced by the
dedicated repository. I decided to check it after looking at the
version on the web site. Some points might be improved though.
- I have noticed that a code snipped, assumed to be 'above', was removed
earlier, so I restored it.
- Since Org as ELPA package is mentioned in this section, I suppose,
org-contrib *package* deserves a similar link as well.
- I am in doubts whether "emacs -Q -L ~/src/org-mode/lisp" way to try
version from git is important enough for the manual. I have added a
separate patch however to discuss such change.
If you think that some patches improve the manual, feel free to apply
ones that you like or to suggest better variants.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] org-manual.el: Restore `load-path' for git version
* doc/org-manual.org (Using Org's git repository): Add example of
`load-path' adjustment that was earlier in the previous section
and was removed by commit f9cdda8234, so 'above' became a dangling
reference.
