Just a notification about some impressive package (el-easydraw/edraw)

Hello you all,

I was just wondering if anyone here is aware of the el-easydraw
<https://github.com/misohena/el-easydraw> package, a quite
beautiful (svg) drawing editor for org-mode. I could not find any mention
of it
in this list (although it has been starred already quite a number of times,
I am
anyway not sure about how well known it is).

Currently, my only reason for this message is to attend the ones who are
interested on this quite beautiful package.

(I thought it would be nice to get this to ELPA or non-GNU ELPA, and I have
already messaged the author to ask him if he would be interested. You can
read
his answer here <https://github.com/misohena/el-easydraw>, below the
Japanse, if you are interested. It looks to me that
he would not have much of a problem with that, but that he does not want to
take
the burden of maintenance, for one of the reasons that English is very
difficult
for him. Anyway, he is still developing, so I guess let's wait a little.)

This looks definitely nice and useful.

As it happens, it was mentioned here just a few days ago (see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2023-01/msg00237.html and
followups two days later).

By the way, you can use it without Org mode, the README file from the
package has a fully working code example for inserting an editor into
an arbitrary buffer.

I agree, after brief testing, that it looks very nice.

This has been going around in emacs-devel too. Here's a non-github link:

Indeed, I only searched the online devel archive, but I forgot to search my
mail.

Thanks, indeed I found that link (it is on the github page).

Now let's hope we can get it to (non-GNU) ELPA sooner or later, but from his
answer I guess he is willing to 'hand-over' the package at some point. He
just
needs some help with that (and I would be happy to assist). But as he is
still
developing, it might be better to wait a little. Therefore, the main reason
for my
mail was to notify you about the package (I guess it does not hurt, to get
notified about it twice :)

Thank you all for your replies!
