# Transcript
-Hello, I'm Richard Stallman, founder of the GNU project. In 1976, I
-developed the first Emacs editor with some help from Guy Steele.
-Then, shortly after starting to develop the GNU operating system in
-1984, I wanted an Emacs editor for it. So I started writing GNU Emacs
-in September 1984.
-
-(00:29) Several years ago we decided to move many of the Emacs Lisp
-packages outside the core Emacs distribution into a separate package
-archive that we call the Emacs Lisp package archive ELPA. There were
-two main reasons for this. One is to make the Emacs distribution
-smaller so every user wouldn't have to get all the packages and
-install all the packages. And the other reason was to make it possible
-to release individual packages separately from Emacs releases.
-
-(01:08) Now, at that point somehow we decided to support loading
-packages from a variety of different Emacs Lisp package archives and
-ours would be called the GNU ELPA, but ELPA could be any other. Now, I
-think that naming was a mistake. We should have meant, we should have
-decided that ELPA referred to our package archive and any other
-package archive should be called some other name. Oh, well! Uh this is
-a mistake I believe, because it leads to a lot of confusion it would
-have been clearer if we had uh used the other naming.
-
-(01:55) Because the difference between having a package in core Emacs
-and having it in GNU ELPA, is purely a practical convenience matter.
-Convenience of distribution and convenience of maintenance. We wanted
-to be able to move packages between the two whenever that was
-convenient. So, to make that possible we insisted on getting copyright
-assignments for packages in GNU ELPA just the same way we do for
-packages in core Emacs.
-
-(02:31) Having the facility for installing packages from package
-archives, led to a tremendous boost in the development and release of
-Emacs packages. Unfortunately there was a problem with the way that
-was done. For the most part, the developers of these packages wouldn't
-even tell us about them. They posted them in another package archive
-where we didn't know about them and (where they) no attempt was made
-to try to fit them into Emacs so that they could make sense as parts
-of the Emacs distribution. This led to both moral problems, packages
-that depended on non-free software in order to be usable and technical
-problems because the developers of those packages didn't coordinate
-with us about how to make it useful and convenient and clean to have
-them in Emacs.
-
-(03:36) So, the idea of NonGNU ELPA is an effort to smooth these
-things out. The fundamental plan of NonGNU ELPA is that, we won't ask
-for copyright assignments for those packages. So, we won't be able to
-put them into core Emacs; at least not easily, but we will have some
-control over how we distribute them. We can put any package into
-NonGNU ELPA as long as it's free software. If we like it we can set up
-that way for users to get it. We could put the package in exactly as
-it is if there's no problem at all with it. We can make an arrangement
-with the package's developers to work on it with us and maintain it
-directly for distribution by NonGNU ELPA but if they are not
-interested we can put it in ourselves and if we need to make any
-changes we can do so.
-
-(04:52) So, NonGNU ELPA is not meant to be just a way that others can
-distribute their packages. It's meant at least in a minimal technical
-sense to work with GNU Emacs, and we'll make changes if necessary so
-that it works smoothly with Emacs. And this means that we're going to
-maintain it differently from GNU ELPA. Well, GNU ELPA is hosted in a
-way that is actually rather inconvenient. It is one single Git
-repository. And so anybody that has access to write it can write any
-part of it. There are many different packages in there maintained by
-different people, and we have no way to give each one of them access
-to per own package and not to the others. Well, with NonGNU ELPA we
-plan to fix that. The idea is to have a single Git repository where
-you can download various packages from. But, they won't be maintained
-there. Each of those packages will be copied automatically from some
-other place. Probably some other repository where the right people
-have access to work on it. And this way we can avoid giving a gigantic
-number of people access to every part of it. So far NonGNU ELPA is
-just a plan, we need people to implement the plan. So, if you would
-like to help please write to me. I think this is a very important step
-for progress and it's got to be implemented. Thanks and happy hacking!
