1 More Neat Stuff for your Emacs

6 The easiest way to add more features to your Emacs is to use the command
7 M-x list-packages. This contacts the server at <URL:http://elpa.gnu.org>,
8 where many Emacs Lisp packages are stored. These are distributed
9 separately from Emacs itself for reasons of space, etc. You can browse
10 the resulting *Packages* buffer to see what is available, and then
11 Emacs can automatically download and install the packages that you
12 select. See the section "Emacs Lisp Packages" in the Emacs manual
15 Below we describe some GNU Emacs programs and resources that are
16 maintained by other people. Some of these may become part of the
17 Emacs distribution, or GNU ELPA, in the future. Others we unfortunately
18 can't distribute, even though they are free software, because we lack
19 legal papers for copyright purposes.
21 Also listed are sites where development versions of some packages
22 distributed with Emacs may be found.
24 It is difficult to keep this file up-to-date, and it only lists a fraction
25 of the Emacs modes that are available. If you are interested in
26 a particular feature, then after checking Emacs itself and GNU ELPA,
27 a web search is often the best way to find results.
29 * The gnu-emacs-sources mailing list
30 <URL:https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-emacs-sources>
31 which is gatewayed to the gnu.emacs.sources newsgroup (although the
32 connection between the two can be unreliable) is an official
33 place where people can post or announce their extensions to Emacs.
35 * The `Emacs Lisp List' at
36 <URL:http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/sje30/emacs/ell.html> has pointers
37 to sources of a large number of packages. Unfortunately, at the time
38 of writing it seems to no longer be updating.
41 The Emacs Wiki has an area for storing elisp files
42 <URL:http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/ElispArea>.
45 <URL:http://wikemacs.org> is an alternative wiki for Emacs.
47 * Emacs slides and tutorials can be found here:
48 <URL:http://web.psung.name/emacs/>
50 * Maintenance versions of some packages distributed with Emacs
52 You might find bug-fixes or enhancements in these places.
53 In many cases, however, development of these packages has shifted to Emacs,
54 so you will find the latest version in Emacs.
