Good! I'll do it within one week. A few questions: 1) Currently, we have a Copyright notice both at the top and bottom of each NEWS file. Isn't the notice at the end sufficient, as we already says this at the top: See the end for copying conditions. or we could make it clearer by writing: See the end for copyright and copying conditions. 2) Years in those "top" and "bottom" copyright notices are out of sync in at least some of those files. I suppose that I shall at least merge the two lists to get one consistent list when they are out of sync. 3) Shall I add 2006 to all of the NEWS.* files, even if we didn't change them (except for chaning the name)? > > BTW, if already visiting a NEWS file, using C-h C-n could > automatically take you to an older or newer NEWS file, depending > on whether you are in the top or bottom half of the NEWS file. > > I don't like that feature; please don't.
