So, yay, now I have to learn *two* contribution paths. The http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ Emacs web pages are maintained in CVS. This is for technical reasons. CVS here functions mainly as a means to get the stuff onto the gnu.org web server, rather than as a VCS. Yes, amazingly, people have proposed changing that to something else. It takes sysadmin time, which is in very short supply. And CVS works fine, so it's not a priority. Anyone who has write access to the Emacs code repo has write access to the web repo. Changes go live almost immediately, so please be careful. Instructions at: http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs
