Each entry that is not already marked needs either to be documented, or a decision should be made that it doesn't need to be. See the beginning of NEWS for the legend. I'd prefer that people who never did this kind of job before in Emacs ask here each time whether a certain entry should be reflected in documentation or not, and then documenting those that should. Please note that the doc strings of the code corresponding to each entry should also be reviewed, to see if they are clear enough and complete. Bonus points for trying the feature and reporting any unusual findings. > I'm going to speak to more developers at an Emacs user's group > meeting in about an hour, and will mention to them also that you > need help in this area. Thanks.
