The topic was whether it would be ok to have Carsten Dominik pass on maintenance of refTeX basically to the AUCTeX team and have RefTeX's primary CVS moved as a module to AUCTeX CVS, while keeping the update process of Emacs' builtin RefTeX as it currently is (namely refreshing the CVS with stable changes and fixes while Emacs is in freeze). While I tend to interpret your mail as you being ok with that approach, I don't find that interpretation sufficiently unambiguous to be sure. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
