It is more about "An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp". And perha= ps something at intermediate level when people got time. Have been looking at making a small elisp package to learn but still keep commands at a basi= c level. Then build from there. And because I would be the author, I will see how it is to be in your situation with respect to manuals. I have wri= tten very long works myself. I can start with my group and see how they get along with it. Would be go= od to make a tutorial about it.
