There is a very incomplete selection on the English language Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:X_Window_extensions
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:X-based_libraries
Of course, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a developer's manual! But
anything listed there should definitely be documented on the Xorg
wiki. (Many as "historical.)
