Re: Aquamacs distro for OS X like behavior

[David Reitter <david.reitter@gmail.com>]

Hi David,

thanks for your friendly comments.

You are of course very right in that we should list the packages that 
we include in the distribution. We haven't done so as we have included 
a lot of things from people's publicly available .emacs files in 
addition to a number of large customizations, e.g. those from Drew 
Adams. We will include a list pretty soon though.

Please note that I didn't complain a lot about a lack of cooperation or 
attack anyone, and I also didn't suggest to make the main-stream Emacs 
more OS X like ("let us do everything the Apple way").  If possible, I 
would very much like to see that Emacs /allows/ us to customize its UI 
for a particular environment.

We can certainly help if the friendly people handling the Mac port 
would like to pick up some of the UI elements, such as the keyboard 
shortcuts, which probably do not conflict with other functionality. I 
have submitted bug reports on other UI problems, such as the scrollbars 
(not fixed), or a little patch for the file selector (fixed) already.

Best
David
