the daemon reports a resurrection of one of the more attractive packages from the olden days:

Name of contribution: Lollipop Author's name: Victor Eijkhout and Vafa Khalighi Package version: 0.98 Location on CTAN: macros/lollipop/ Summary description: TeX made easy License type: gpl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

Lollipop is TeX made easy. Lollipop is a macro package that functions as a toolbox for writing TeX macros. Its main aim is to make macro writing so easy that implementing a fully new layout in TeX would become a matter of less than an hour for an average document, and that it would be a task that could be accomplished by someone with only a very basic training in TeX programming.

Lollipop is an attempt to make structured text formatting available for environments where previously only WYSIWYG packages could be used because adapting the layout is so much more easy with them than with traditional TeX macro packages.

This is an initial release updating/organizing old files and generating various formats to be used with different engines.
