Otherwise, GNU ELPA is just as fine.

At the moment, ox-epub.el still needs to mature a bit, as it behaves a bit differently from other exporters. However, Mark seems to have a good domain knowledge of what an epub is, so hopefully we could make it work. I think Alan Tyree has agreed to help test it with "real-world" books later, if necessary. > However, IIRC, Bastien (Cc'ed) was reluctant to add more export > back-ends, back when I wanted to move ox-koma-letter to core.
