I believe many of the (hard)core GNOME hackers *use* Emacs for their work. I don't know how many of them (if at all) are actually interested in working on this. Perhaps asking them directly (using gnome-list@gnome.org, I believe) would be the best option? Gnome also comes with gtksourceview widget which is used by stuff like gedit (a [not so] simple text-editor provided by Gnome). If someone would take a closer look at it, it would probably be nice if they could create an Emacs-widget which would be mostly (source-code) compatible with it. Emacs Bonobo component, OTOH, would allow Emacs to be embedded even in programs like Mozilla (look for mozilla-bonobo project), and many other Bonobo-aware 'containers' (Nautilus comes to mind). Those are the advantages of having Bonobo components. Cheers, Danilo
