Thanks! What are you interested in? Texinfo files? Man pages? Or doc strings? (Maybe refcard is also a kind of documentation.) Some small suggestions: 1. Assign the copyright to the FSF for non-trivial contributions; 2. Use the latest version of Emacs (bzr trunk); 3. Sending the patch(es) to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org See also: http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Documentation.html#Documentation -- Xue Fuqiao http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
