Hi Nicolas,

> The following patch adds Org mode to the list of Emacs packages.

Thank you for the patch.  Org mode is already part of Emacs; is a
separate package for Org mode still needed in this case?

I'm not an emacs user, so ignore me if I'm way off on my assumptions :)

I notice the release date is about 2 weeks ago, so development seems to
be continuing, not just as part of emacs. How recently was orgmode added
to emacs? If it was quite recently then could this still be useful to
people using Guix on a foreign distro?

Org has been part of Emacs for quite a long time already. However, as
you notice, Org shipped with Emacs (8.2.10) is lagging behind current
stable release (8.3.5). As a data point, Org 8.3 was released more than
one year ago, and 8.3.5 differs from 8.2.10 by 2700+ commit. More
importantly, bugs reported on 8.2.10 are unlikely to be fixed.

This patch adds Org current stable release. However, a new release is
going to be shipped on Monday.

Also, this is without the third party "contrib/" directory. We can
provide that also (license is still gpl3+) if needed.

Thanks for the details!  I can confirm that the latest prerelease of
Emacs 25.1 comes with Org 8.2.10.

For the current stable release isn’t this the URL:
http://orgmode.org/org-8.3.5.tar.gz ?  Should we use this instead?

The difference is about how Org is packaged. With the link above, you
need gnu-build-system and modify-phases, much like haskell-mode does.

However, Org is also distributed as an ELPA package. If we use this one,
we can rely on emacs-build-system and the recipe is trivial.

I pushed this to master as 59065bb3304d6281c29ad7394a90fe17e8fb2b3b
after making these two changes:

- reordered fields to match the common order
- reflowed the description

Thanks again for the patch and the explanations!
