When I run ~M-x list-packages~, and click on a package name, the = description is usually vague on what it means, and it would be great if = there was a link to the source / github link (just like the website = http://melpa.milkbox.net/ displays the Source column) so that I can = understand what it actually does. For example, ~pony-mode~ says "Minor mode for working with Django = projects [github]" and that ~[github]~ doesn't actually link to anything = and that description is not helpful to what it actually does. Further examples (as pointed out by jlf on freenode.net#emacs IRC) are = "lisp-editing" which says "lisp editing tools" in the description and = "fuzzy-match" which says "fuzzy matching [wiki]" in the description. This is definitely not nitpicking about those packages, but a request = that there be a standard homepage / source (github, etc.) link in the = description for each package, similar to how HomeBrew package manager on = OS X works. Thank you! Regards, Swaroop
