Hello,
I hope this is the right forum for this question, please direct me if otherwise.
When I run ~M-x list-packages~, and click on a package name, the description is
usually vague on what it means, and it would be great if there was a link to
the source / github link (just like the website http://melpa.milkbox.net/
displays the Source column) so that I can understand what it actually does.
For example, ~pony-mode~ says "Minor mode for working with Django projects
[github]" and that ~[github]~ doesn't actually link to anything and that
description is not helpful to what it actually does.
Further examples (as pointed out by jlf on freenode.net#emacs IRC) are
"lisp-editing" which says "lisp editing tools" in the description and
"fuzzy-match" which says "fuzzy matching [wiki]" in the description.
This is definitely not nitpicking about those packages, but a request that
there be a standard homepage / source (github, etc.) link in the description
for each package, similar to how HomeBrew package manager on OS X works.
Thank you!
Regards,
Swaroop
