They are! Consider (new vs. old): describe-gnu-project vs. describe-project - which project? (Compare to e.g. "describe-bindings" which describes current bindings, so I would expect describe-project describes the "current project" whatever that might be...) view-emacs-todo vs. view-todo - confusing wrt todo-mode. Also, there's already view-emacs-FAQ, view-emacs-news, etc. so view-emacs-todo is the correct name. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
