Hi Conf people

I'd be= interested to know if there are any knowledgeable/keen presenters out ther= e who would rather take care of this, than leave it up to me. I haven't= put in all the blood, sweat and tears to get (and keep) Emacs working, so = it's only fair that those who did get preference.

I proposed "Emacs, from scratch":

A quick, entertaining look at how Emacs starts up. From the core interprete= r, through the elisp packages to bring it to "full Elisp" status,= and on into the bits and pieces that make it all "Emacs". Rememb= er: it's not a text editor - it's an operating system, with a text = editor baked in ;)

It got quite a few vot= es, and looks like it'd be a hot topic.

... I = think it'd also be interesting to know which primitives are in language= s other than Elisp, how the Emacs image is dumped - what gnarly, historical= ly retained little flourishes are there - that sort of thing.

Any takers?

Also - feel free to let me know if you'd rather not present, but are wi= lling to help out with questions I'd have if I were to do so.

Have a good one.
Ryan
