Dear folks at g.e.bug
(I was impressed by the debian's organization of 'project-help wanted'
page.. http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ -- and the fact that it is
easily accessible from www.debian.org). I am slowly working on
creating a similar page for Emacs--should this essentially link to the
Emacs TODO ? And will try to put it up at a conspicuous website like
http://www.emacs.org.)
In the meanwhile, i had to do a lot of juggling to locate the TODO
file for emacs on my unix-box.
[1] I was thinking that just as C-h C-n displays news, C-h C-t ought to
display this TODO page.. easy accessibility means: more people read
this.. means: more people contribute.
[2] I was wondering if it would make sense to include something like
this at the beginning of TODO file--->
"Your interest in helping accomplish any of the following is very
welcome, please inform emacs-devel@gnu.org of what you are working
on. That will help us make the best use of your efforts efforts and
avoid duplication of work--->"
[3] once again, i was really impressed by the way debian classifies
packages as
'up-for-adoption'/obsolete/orphaned/being-worked-upon-and-need-help
etc.
on this page:
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/
and was wondering if TODO can include more such info or weblink or an
info-link to some file called PACKAGES or some such.
Dave

Ironically, www.debian.org is unreachable from my system...

Why not make it a page on www.gnu.org?

hi Eli

so what do you think of the C-h C-t --> TODO suggestion?
> Ironically, www.debian.org is unreachable from my system...
must be down:( .. this morning, i can't seem to reach it either for
some reason..

absolutely. definitely. i will do that. I shall come up with that
page, and show it to you folks and transfer it to www.gnu.org and
sugest that it be linked from
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html#YouHelp
<-- and i shall try to get macs.org and other sites to link to this
emacs page...
====================================================
While i am at it, consider this page:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
this leads to a 'page not found' ---- i suggest there be an index.html
here linked to http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html .
====================================================
Moreover, in the page:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html
consider item 9 in the contents---
If you want to help with GNU Emacs
i feel like 'capitalizing' it... and making it more inviting, like:
HELP WITH EMACS WELCOME...
====================================================
consider now the one-liner contents of item 9-->
To contact the maintainers of Emacs, either to report a bug or to
contribute fixes or improvements, send mail to
<bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org>.
adding this line to the contents would be nice-->
To see the TODO in emacs, type C-h C-t (new versions of emacs). OR
you can browse the TODO <link> here.
<-- we could simply put the TODO online at:
www.gnu.org/emacs/TODO and be linked, as suggested above, from item 9..
i shall try to reexamine the TODO and see if it can be organized
better in debian-packaging style. Until then, do the above
suggestions look reasonable?
====================================================

I don't have an opinion, so I'll defer to others. (In general, TODO
is something for the developers, so I'm not sure C-h C-t is
necessary.)

I don't consider myself an expert in Web page design, but if you could
send patches to the HTML you find on www.gnu.org, I will gladly apply
those patches, provided that no one objects.
Thanks.

Thanks for these suggestions. The concept of "abandoned" does not
really apply to packages within Emacs, but the other ideas seem
useful.

Neither do I.
IMO, there are already too many bindings in the C-h map...

It seems to me that etc/TODO is a more convenient place for
the Emacs TODO list than a web page. So I decided to keep the
existing file, and implement C-h C-t.
