Talk (Emacs, from scratch) looking for a presenter

Hi Conf people

I'd be interested to know if there are any knowledgeable/keen presenters
out there who would rather take care of this, than leave it up to me. I
haven't put in all the blood, sweat and tears to get (and keep) Emacs
working, so it's only fair that those who did get preference.

I proposed "Emacs, from scratch":

A quick, entertaining look at how Emacs starts up. From the core
interpreter, through the elisp packages to bring it to "full Elisp" status,
and on into the bits and pieces that make it all "Emacs". Remember: it's
not a text editor - it's an operating system, with a text editor baked in ;)

It got quite a few votes, and looks like it'd be a hot topic.

... I think it'd also be interesting to know which primitives are in
languages other than Elisp, how the Emacs image is dumped - what gnarly,
historically retained little flourishes are there - that sort of thing.

Any takers?

Also - feel free to let me know if you'd rather not present, but are
willing to help out with questions I'd have if I were to do so.

Have a good one.
Ryan
