The Emacs Desktop Notification Center (EDNC) is an Emacs package written in pure Lisp that implements a Desktop Notifications service according to the freedesktop.org specification. EDNC aspires to be a small, but flexible drop-in replacement of standalone daemons like Dunst. A global minor mode `ednc-mode' tracks active notifications, which users can access by calling the function `ednc-notifications'. They are also free to add their own functions to the (abnormal) hook `ednc-notification-amendment-functions' to amend arbitrary data and to the (abnormal) hook `ednc-notification-presentation-functions' to present notifications as they see fit. To be useful out of the box, default hooks record all notifications in an interactive log buffer `*ednc-log*'.
