Me too (re relationships), which is why it behooves those involved to state them explicitly (if possible). Re importance of knowing these relationships: uncertainty leads to doubt, and doubt leads to hesitation, incorrect assumptions, stumbling execution and (in the worst cases) circular recriminations. Knowing things beforehand helps conserve energy and good will. > IMHO, this kind of inter-project policy-ish documentation > should live on Emacswiki. Then this is a separate issue, unrelated to newcomers to Emacs development. I think it is related in that a newcomer's contributions may belong better in one repo or another, or even apart from Emacs (e.g., posted to gnu-emacs-sources only), due to relationships and expectations. =2D-=20 Thien-Thi Nguyen GPG key: 4C807502 (if you're human and you know it) read my lisp: (responsep (questions 'technical) (not (via 'mailing-list))) =3D> nil --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlTolI8ACgkQZwMiJEyAdQKUYACghFMj2cK+e2ZwV6AK0b7VSg4C pFsAnAoggZX47qTGoVXDhtLsk51fWI1Q =l+EL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
