However, they all seem to rely on access keys (and the like). For instance, imgur.el comes with a token that's connected to my account (but images are uploaded as "public", so they're not tied to me once they're uploaded). And that feels kinda odd for a general package, but might be acceptable for a specific package. Ideally the distributed access key would be registered to the FSF or GNU, but I'm not sure anybody would be interested... -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
