I didn't react negatively when I asked if they could get (and keep) in touch with us. I just think it'd be good for both us and them. Almost every time I bump into such a package as TEI-Emacs which I had never heard of I feel "what a pity: if I don't know about it despite all the time I spend around Emacs, who will?". Also the code in such packages often does both strange/wrong things (either because of misunderstandings about how some functionality works or because of a lack of some functionality) and great things (which could benefit many more people than users of that package). In either case, it would have been great if they had complained here (for example) about the problems and shortcomings they encountered. Stefan
