Indulging in the passive voice: FAQs should be collected, especially once the switchover takes place, and either incorporated in the above document or into a separate "Bzr for Emacs" FAQ. I'm not volunteering to do it all. We should do it collectively. If "do it collectively" doesn't work, then we've got a problem, and I'm not promising to be the one to solve that problem :-). (I am not a Bazaar expert; I'm just a regular user who likes it a lot. I'm pretty sure that many people participating in this thread actually know more about Bazaar than I do. I'll answer what I can, of course, but it would be bad if I were the primary resource.) Right now, the only question that's come up that I think belongs in that document is "What should be the standard workflow for Emacs developers in Bazaar?" That's a question we already had a draft answer for, and Stephen Turnbull has since improved it (I'm about to review it). -Karl
