Hi!

Mmm... May I suggest to change the subject of the thread to a
more specific to the debate? Or, if it is possible, to "move"
the debate to another thread?

The aim of the subject "New package: SachaC-news" is to share
and propose this package to ELPA. And, to suggest modifications
to allow its inclusion to this repository. Also, in my personal
case, to learn more about the decisions, conventions, and
requirements to include new packages.

The results of the debate can be related to the package,
because it affects the default format to display. But, it could
also affect other packages. The subject used may be confusing,
and may not be completely accurate to the debate topic.

Cheers!
Christian gimenez.
