Thanks for showing interest in the Emacs Xwidget project! I'm the maintainer of the branch. The current readme lives here: http://www.verona.se/projects/xwidget-emacs.html I think the best approach is to just start building and testing on your plattform. I use Fedora 20, but the code has been reported to work on many other GNU/Linux projects. I think this years focus should be on getting merged to the Emacs trunk when it opens again. > > Eager to help! > > Dan Plyukhin > > -- Joakim Verona
