[Moving to help-gnu-emacs, since gnu-emacs-sources isn't meant for discussion.]
I agree, but technically the package description is on the web site,
but I suppose it could be added.
FWIW, it looks like these e-mails to gnu-emacs-sources originate from
this script:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/elpa.git/tree/admin/update-archive.sh

I do not want to browse the Internet for such basic information. Since I spend 99.9% of my time in a GNU Emacs buffer on a non X environment (linux tty), I tend to limit browsing the Internet at all ;) Regards -- Xavier Maillard e/j:xavier@maillard.im w:www.maillard.im m: 06 52 18 63 43 GPG: 9983 DCA1 1FAC 8DA7 653A F9AA BA49 09B7 8F04 DE1B ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

I would love, if gnu.emacs.sources would be a more useful information source (adding a description of the announced packages would no doubt make ich more valuable) but I read it anyway, since I'm already on netnews, because of gnu.emacs.help. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

Normally I'm all for the minority report but my intuition tells me very, very few people use GES so any improvements there would be a shot in the dark, unless it would be a quick fix which after that would be all automated and just propagate the data to the newsgroup. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
