There really isn't much to document, you write a mason component that
does what you want, you stick it in local/html/Elements or in the
html/Elements directory of an extension and then you add it by name to
the allowed $HomepageComponents in your RT_SiteConfig.pm

The extension I noted does this and documents adding it and would be a
good jumping off point.
