Summary: Merged with info from ELPA, CategoryPackaging.
Changed:
< MELPA (Milkypostman's [[ELPA]] or Milkypostman's Experimental Lisp Package Archive) - MELPA is a growing collection of package.el-compatible Emacs Lisp packages built automatically on our server from the upstream source code using simple recipes. (Think of it as a server-side version of el-get, or even homebrew.)
< It is a version control based package repository for Emacs 24, that is, if you have your package in a version control system, just create a simple recipe for MELPA, and it will automatically fetch the package from your published VCS. As of 2012-09-19 it has 441 packages.

MELPA is an ELPA-compatible package repository built automatically on our server from the upstream source code using simple recipes. (Think of it as a server-side version of el-get, or even homebrew.)
Library authors do not need to upload new versions of their packages to MELPA, since they are built automatically. The MELPA maintainers plan to add support for automatic builds of stable version packages triggered by upstream version tags.
Currently supported backends are git, svn, bzr, hg, darcs and emacswiki. The collaboration model for MELPA is like that of the Homebrew package manager on OS X – to add new recipes, simply file a pull request on Github.
Melpa uses a recipe system similar to el-get. Recipes are stored on a git-hub repository which tells the updated package.el how to download each package. The source of the package might be from git, svn, darcs or this wiki.
