Right now, every new version in GNU ELPA or NonGNU ELPA is announced on a list, gnu-emacs-sources, that not many people read. I think that we should announce NEW packages in GNU ELPA in a bigger list where more people will see them. Maybe also NEW packages in NonGNU ELPA. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
