I'm glad to hear that; all of it. And thanks for replying.

I don't want to develop anything like that; sorry. I don't want to fiddle
with a local GIT clone. I would be willing to identify versions of my
libraries to be pulled at specific times ("releases") from the wiki (or
from MELPA) to be put (updated) in GNU ELPA.
I doubt that my case is typical, however. I'm not saying that Emacs Dev
needs to cater to such a case. I'm just explaining that I update my
libraries locally, without GIT etc., and I upload updates to the wiki.
They are automatically pulled to MELPA.
What do I need to know, currently? Only how to write some Lisp (a
library) and how to copy and paste it into a Web page. Simple. Maybe
too simple to accommodate by Emacs Dev.
