What do you think about the following idea for package.el? To every package handled by package.el add a new parameter that tracks the package's "popularity". This could mean either the number of downloads from the server that hosts these packages, or to add UI where users would be able to vote for a package. Then we could sort all available packages by popularity in package.el UI, so the top packages are objective candidates for inclusion in Emacs. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
