I think that you can create such longer descriptions of contributed 
things in FPC wiki, [http://www.freepascal.org/wiki/]. On main page 
there is a link to "Contributed Units". Just follow it, create new page, 
and list there various pages describing contributed things. Then you can 
create whole pages dedicated to some particular contributed things.
