I have reported more bugs :) I'd like to ask a question on a more serious note. To me, emacs is a very important piece of software, and I would like to do what I can to help it improve. =20 What is the best way to follow emacs development? Just check out the trunk [1] and rebuild on a regular basis? Are there incremental branches done between release versions?
