If I can sum up what has been an extensive and enlightening thread,
the draft proposal so far seems to be:

If recipe authors include documentation pages,

- call them PmWikiCookbook.RecipeName

- include a link to the recipe page on pmwiki.org

- include a link to a place where readers can see the recipe
  in action and (if appropriate) practice in a sandbox

- include a category of either [[!PmWiki recipe]] or 
  [[!PmWiki skin]]

- either place it in a recipe/wikilib.d directory (if the recipe
  includes other pages) or place it in ?? (I think this is still
  an open question, but we have rejected wikilib.d)

Feel free to correct this attempt at a summary.
