Yes, availability and quality and "focal point" of efforts. > May be you want to share some of your Emacs > customization in these places Yes, I will go through my Elisp and for each defun, ask myself if it is something I did just because I like it that way or if it is something others could benefit from. I think most of it isn't, but I know some is, so I will do it. When I'm done, should I post it on gnu.emacs.sources and then someone will decide if it is? I'm fine with that method and I don't think discussion will be needed: I did this for myself and I will continue to use it, so there is no potential loss (on my part at least :)). By the way, I configured Gnus to show a short comment for each group and for gnu.emacs.sources it says "Lisp and C only" (pseudo-quote) emphatically - is this a remnant of some glorious past? Because I don't see lots of people spamming the group with Perl and C++... -- Emanuel Berg, programmer-for-rent. CV, projects, etc at uXu underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
