   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
  13 for more details.
  14
  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.
  20
  21 Also listed are sites where development versions of some packages
  22 distributed with Emacs may be found.
  23
  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.
  28
  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.
  34
  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.
  39
  40 * emacswiki.org
  41   The Emacs Wiki has an area for storing elisp files
  42   <URL:http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/ElispArea>.
  43
  44 * Emacs slides and tutorials can be found here:
  45    <URL:http://web.psung.name/emacs/>
  46
  47 * Maintenance versions of some packages distributed with Emacs
  48
  49 You might find bug-fixes or enhancements in these places.
  50 In many cases, however, development of these packages has shifted to Emacs,
  51 so you will find the latest version in Emacs.
  52
  53  * Ada-mode: <URL:http://stephe-leake.org/emacs/ada-mode/emacs-ada-mode.html>
  54
  55  * CC mode: <URL:http://cc-mode.sourceforge.net/>

  72
  73 * Packages and add-ons not bundled with Emacs
  74
  75 Various major packages or useful additions aren't distributed as part of
  76 Emacs for various reasons, sometimes because their authors haven't made
  77 a copyright assignment to the FSF.  Some of them may be integrated in
  78 the future.

  81 packages that you can install.
