The idea came up in emacs-devel [1]. There has been a lot of enthusiasm surrounding org+google-weather. It only shows how useful certain packages could be. My concern is they shouldn't be lost in mailing list or blog posts or get hidden deep in a emacswiki page ... I wonder whether elpa packages are permitted to contain data files (non-elisp files). Let's say, one is interested in exploring R or haskell through babel or just interested in basic babel recipes, then it would be more faster and importantly very effective if one could simply connect to org's elpa and download the language-specific startupkits [2]. I have found very good emacs packages through elpa which I would have never found through emacswiki ... and I have been an emacs-user since before emacswiki became quite prominent. An enthusiastic emacs/orgmode user, Jambunathan K. [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/129833 [2] Startupkits need not be just limited to literate programming examples. It could even be sample agenda files that an entry-level user could download, walk through and play with. --=-=-= Content-Type: text/plain; charset=gb2312 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable From: Ted Zlatanov Subject: Re: Google modules integration Newsgroups: gmane.emacs.devel To: emacs-devel@gnu.org Date: Thu, 09 Sep 2010 18:36:30 -0500 Organization: =A7=B4=A7=D6=A7=E0=A7=D5=A7=E0=A7=E2 =A7=A9=A7=DD=A7=D1=A7=E4= =A7=D1=A7=DF=A7=E0=A7=D3 @ Cienfuegos Message-ID: <87r5h24hhd.fsf@lifelogs.com> Archived-At: On Fri, 10 Sep 2010 00:56:09 +0200 Lennart Borgman wrote:=20 LB> On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 12:25 AM, Stefan Monnier LB> wrote: >>> But to do the things correctly, that would mean the merge of the >>> `google-maps.el' and `google-weather.el' modules into Emacs core >> [...] >>> The question is, therefore, is there a chance that we could merge these >>> two extension into Emacs? >>=20 >> Without having thought much about it, my reaction is rather negative, >> since we do not want to install packages dedicated to supporting >> proprietary software.

(Is that possible with the current elpa version?) You can set up your own ELPA repo, sure. I think it's better for org-mode to support a generic maps and weather plugin so users can write Google-specific ones (and put them on their own ELPA repos) but don't have to. I was in a similar situation with Google Reader and planned to write an interface to it until the much better gwene.org came along (thanks to Lars) to let me read RSS feeds in a sensible way.
