I'm sure the majority of all Emacs developers and/or contributors would prefer to have a web interface instead of an e-mail interface if they had to choose between only one of them. I am not a core Emacs developers, not even a regular contributor but I really do not see the benefit of an HTTP interface other simple email exchanges. At the very least, an emacs mode would be enough for me *but* web would not help here. YMMV off course. Xavier --=20 http://www.gnu.org http://www.april.org http://www.lolica.org
