How would you deal with that > problem? This is not a problem, in my view. The boilerplate is an example to be used for new pages. All homepages of GNU packages should include basic information (such as downloading, getting help, documentation, etc.) but nothing should prevent the maintainers to extend them, following the given guidelines. The current page includes all necessary details (AFAICS only the "Maintainer" is missing), so I guess it would be a bit dumb to stick precisely to the boilerplate. Anyway, I asked the GNU Webmasters to confirm this. > > If required, I can send here full diff > > I think this is also a good idea. Here it is. (Another thing to consider -- the footer currently says that all reports have to be sent to webmasters@gnu.org. If that's not desired, you might consider changing it to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org or anything else that is appropriate.) --- emacs.html.orig 2007-03-04 14:22:44.000000000 +0200 +++ emacs.html 2007-03-04 11:04:53.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,526 +1,538 @@ - - + +GNU Emacs - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF) + +

+ Emacs is the extensible, customizable, self-documenting + real-time display editor. +
