That project must be in its absolute infancy because there isn't even a Wikipedia page on it. I have no idea what it is all about, but I am prepared to swallow poison that Emacs, without the text editor, for non-textual applications, will *never* replace my Emacs. But I confess, I *was* "thinking in Emacs" back when I still used X. Whenever I wanted something to happen, I always thought I'd add a hook, or make two events into one by stacking them in a defun, just for a split second... -- Emanuel Berg, programmer-for-rent.
