    I have found the Emacs community to be one of the most responsive and skill=
    ed=20
    group of developers in open-source,

Please do not use the term "open source" to describe what Emacs is in.
Emacs is part of the GNU Project, which is part of the free software
movement.  To call us "open source" is like calling Kucinich a
Republican.

See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html
for more explanation.
