If we exclude the development and distribution of Emacs itself (including ELPA) - better leave that to the pros for now - how would a map of the Emacs World look like? There are all the mailing lists/newsgroups. Some are general (e.g. help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org/gmane.emacs.help [1]), some are specific (erc-discuss@gnu.org/gmane.emacs.erc.general [2]). There are tons of them [3] so to filter out the the nuggets in a systematic way is from what I can tell right now virtually impossible - it would be a "best effort" policy, rather... Then there is the EmacsWiki. [3] Then there is the Emacs SX site. [4] Then there is the MELPA. [5] Then there are some things (?) going on at Reddit. [6] Then there are blogs (?) and apparently a weekly newsletter (?) which I know nothing about, which is remarkable after doing Emacs virtually every day for 10+ years. THEN there are the Emacs subset of IRC, namely the channels on freenode, of which #emacs is the most important, I take it. [7] So there is material for an "Emacs Quarterly", no doubt... It doesn't have to be that much work, mostly lurking, a trained and experienced eye, and then the familiar kill/yank. Still, it will be work, no doubt. If it happened tho, it'd be great :) [1] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs [2] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/erc-discuss [3] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html [3] https://www.emacswiki.org [4] http://emacs.stackexchange.com [5] https://melpa.org [6] https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs [7] https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsChannel -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
