Re: What is GNU ELPA?

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   I think that ties in to my suggestion that we should promote ELPA more, 
   no less.

Does ELPA need to be promoted at all?

Wouldn't it rather make more sense to promote that "Emacs also comes
the following that isn't part of core" (might need a better
explanation).

ELPA as it is, isn't that interesting from a user POV -- what is
interesting is what you get when you do M-x list-packages.  I think it
would be more interesting to say what ELPA contains, i.e. mention that
you can get foo-mode or bar-mode just by doing 'M-x package-install'
without needing to do anything, than ELPA specifically.
