-This file describes GNU Emacs programs and resources that are
-maintained by other people. Some of these may become part of the
-Emacs distribution in the future. Others we unfortunately can't
-distribute, even though they are free software, because we lack legal
-papers for copyright purposes. Also included are sites where
-development versions of some packages distributed with Emacs may be
-found.
+The easiest way to add more features to your Emacs is to use the command
+M-x list-packages. This contacts the server at <URL:http://elpa.gnu.org>,
+where many Emacs Lisp packages are stored. These are distributed
+separately from Emacs itself for reasons of space, etc. You can browse
+the resulting *Packages* buffer to see what is available, and then
+Emacs can automatically download and install the packages that you
+select. See the section "Emacs Lisp Packages" in the Emacs manual
+for more details.
-You might also look at the Emacs web page
-<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html>. If you use the
-Windows-32 version of Emacs, see the NTEmacs sites listed in the FAQ.
+Below we describe some GNU Emacs programs and resources that are
+maintained by other people. Some of these may become part of the
+Emacs distribution, or GNU ELPA, in the future. Others we unfortunately
+can't distribute, even though they are free software, because we lack
+legal papers for copyright purposes.
-Please submit a bug report if you find that any of the addresses
-listed here fail.
+Also listed are sites where development versions of some packages
+distributed with Emacs may be found.
-* The `Emacs Lisp List' at
- <URL:http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/eglen/emacs/ell.html> has pointers
- to sources of a large number of packages.
+It is difficult to keep this file up-to-date, and it only lists a fraction
+of the Emacs modes that are available. If you are interested in
+a particular feature, then after checking Emacs itself and GNU ELPA,
+a web search is often the best way to find results.
-* gnu.emacs.sources
+* The gnu-emacs-sources mailing list
+ <URL:https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-emacs-sources>
+ which is gatewayed to the gnu.emacs.sources newsgroup (although the
+ connection between the two can be unreliable) is an official
+ place where people can post or announce their extensions to Emacs.
-Packages posted to the gnu.emacs.sources newsgroup (see
-etc/MAILINGLISTS) might be archived specifically (try a web search
-engine) or retrievable from general Usenet archive services.
+* The `Emacs Lisp List' at
+ <URL:http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/sje30/emacs/ell.html> has pointers
+ to sources of a large number of packages. Unfortunately, at the time
+ of writing it seems to no longer be updating.

You might find bug-fixes or enhancements in these places.
+In many cases, however, development of these packages has shifted to Emacs,
