Yes, I am quite happy with that also -- it would save the effort of
syncing it. It would have to be MELPA though, because I don't think we
have papers (I can check). This does have the disadvantage of requiring
people to update their config/installed packages, but it's probably
okay.

I'd plan to incorporate org-learn into org-drill -- I suspect everyone
using org-learn is using it via org-drill, so winding it in makes sense,
so I'd need to remove both.

I'll see how MELPA are with adding my fork there; if they are happy,
once that it up and running it could be pulled from contrib.
