Re: NonGNU ELPA work

[Philip Kaludercic]

It might be interesting to consider adding a few of these libraries to
NonGNU ELPA: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DrewsElispLibraries

For them to be added to nongnu.git, we'd have to use the emacsmirror
(https://github.com/emacsmirror) repositories.

These seem interesting:

- bookmark+
* buff-menu+ 
* calendar+ 
* compile+
- dired+
* doremi
* grep+
* help+
* help-fns+
* highlight
* hl-line+
- icicles
* imenu+
* info+
* isearch+
* lacarte
* window+

There are two main issues:

1. The ...+ libraries tend to overwrite functions defined in Emacs
   itself. While from what I understand this is also the intention, it
   might be nice if this could be avoided.
2. The packages with an "*" have a version number set to 0. This
   indicates they shouldn't be released on the main archive.

I Cc'ed Drew to see if he is interested in cooperating.
