Earlier you said there is no source published for xmlat I myself can  
not fully say that is a real source, because I do not have enough  
knowledge to say so. But this looks like a real source to me  
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/xmlat.git/

Earlier You mentioned ePerl could it be https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/eperl
Earlier you said I am quietly using for years Lisp data structures. Is  
that a package?

I am promoting free software mainly via the Free Software Directory  
what to me also is a central point of communication and a place to  
keep track of GNU packages also to gather information these packages  
dont give me.
There are too many useless packages on  
https://www.gnu.org/software/software.html that destracts from the  
usefull ones.

I want to promote usefull projects and ideas, now I too often promote  
outdated and/or vague projects with vague descriptions or ideas.
