This package is used to maintain the Emacsmirror which can be found at
http://www.emacsmirror.org.

This library is mostly used to extracts metadata from packages and save
it for future use by e.g. a package manager.

Most of the code used to generate the mirrors webpage can be found in
the accompanying libary `elm-org.el' which might eventually be replaced
by a more dynamic webpage.



That's what it looks like. Thoughts follow later.
