More Neat Stuff for your Emacs

This file describes GNU Emacs programs and resources that are
maintained by other people.  Some of these may become part of the
Emacs distribution in the future.  Others we unfortunately can't
distribute, even though they are free software, because we lack legal
papers for copyright purposes.  Also included are sites where
development versions of some packages distributed with Emacs may be
found.

You might also look at the Emacs web page
<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html>.  If you use the
Windows-32 version of Emacs, see the NTEmacs sites listed in the FAQ.

Please submit a bug report if you find that any of the addresses
listed here fail.

* Packages and add-ons not bundled with Emacs

Various major packages or useful additions aren't distributed as part of
Emacs for various reasons, sometimes because their authors haven't made
a copyright assignment to the FSF.  Some of them may be integrated in
the future.

You might like to check whether they are packaged for your system.
Several are for Debian GNU/Linux in particular.
