Would someone, please? Summary: Followup-To: Distribution: Organization: PANIX -- Public Access Networks Corp. Keywords: Cc: I don't know about you, but I find rms's antinews almost impossibly difficult to mentally figure out what the change is in the newer version. Has someone already done a translation, eg for 21.2? If not, *could* someone, PLEASE! Someone, perhaps even an "official" (works with rms) developer -- even remaining anonymous, if necessary . Why someone like that? Because for that person doing the transformation would be dead-easy, since all the info needed would already be in the brain. Whereas for someone like me, very little would already be there, so for each antinews-item I'd have to hunt through NEWS, and try to dope out from that or several NEWS items just what the new feature is and means. An order of magnitude more difficult, probably, and even then the result would be missing key points. rms will never produce a "forward" news; I've asked, and he *really* likes his antinews. Too bad, for it's really needed for the NON-guru emacs-user. Any takers? Thanks! David
