<URL:http://www.anc.ed.ac.uk/~stephen/emacs/ell.html> is a list of
elisp packages. There is also <URL:http://www.emacs.org/> ; it would
be good to centralize information there.

Dejanews (with a nicer interface than their horrible new thing at
<URL:http://www.exit109.com/~jeremy/news/deja.html>) is searchable. The
GNU mailing lists are also archived at 
 
  <URL:ftp://ftp-mailing-list-archives.gnu.org/>
