- I would love to add some more documentation for all kinds of folders like
~./ssh - It would be great to have documenation for files like

All manual text are a shameless plug of "Linux Filesystem Hierarchy" by Binh Nguyen http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html
The idea originates from using the ipython help str ? and reading an article about recreating the ps command (I can't find it anymore) that heavily relied on the "Linux Filesystem Hierarchy" linked above.
