List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:6398 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:6398 I would like to add ERC -- the Emacs IRC Client -- to Emacs. Mario Lang and I decided some time ago to take ERC and tinker with it. Mario is now maintaining it. It started out as a project by Alexander L. Belikoff, was then maintained by Sergey Berezin, and finally picked up by us. A few weeks ago (before gnu.org problems) I was finally able to locate Alexander and he agreed to sign papers. If you agree that having an IRC client as part of Emacs is a good thing, then I will track down all the other contributors and ask them to sign papers. Before I do that, however, I would like to know wether ERC will be added if I do all that. I would be happy to provide more information on ERC and IRC if required. Alex.
