Rough guidelines are: 1. Individuals only. 2. Open only to first time contributors. 3. Self-contained task that improve specific aspects of Emacs (Preferably, the C parts) . Stefan or Eli frequently mention what aspects they would like to see improved. 4. I will hand over the gift only after the feature has been accepted in to the trunk. This announcement is a personal initiative. i.e., I haven't consulted or informed the Emacs developers or maintainers while making this announcement. They may or may not approve of it. I will NOT involve myself in: 1. The feature that is picked 2. The technical aspects of the work in any way. If you want to claim the gift, you can point me to 1. The specific feature that is implemented. 2. The quantum of code as it hits the trunk.
