Description     : Emacs WebSocket client and server

 Emacs Websocket is an elisp library that allows websocket clients to
 talk to websocket servers, and websocket servers to accept
 connections from websocket clients.  This library is designed to be
 used by other library writers, to write apps that use websockets, and
 is not useful by itself.
 .
 Emacs IPython Notebook, Emacs Realtime Markdown Viewer, Kite,
 Markdown-preview-mode, and Atomic Chrome for Emacs use this library.

I have started packaging this software because it is a prerequisite
for Atomic Chrome for Emacs (RFP Bug #909336).  I will soon use it.  I
am not aware of a package with similar functionality.

If my experience with Atomic Chrome for Emacs is good then I plan to
maintain both packages as part of the Debian Emacsen Team.  I will
need a sponsor for the initial upload.


Regards,
Nicholas
