Please feel free to delete this if you think it's not appropriate for

Many people will have read Xah Lee's excellent Emacs tutorials at
http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs.html and possibly seen his interview
with Sacha Chua at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKPKWqvTImA
Xah has contributed a lot to the Emacs community over the years, but is
now going through a very hard time. See
http://ergoemacs.org/misc/xah_as_good_as_dead.html
If you think you can help either with food, employment, accommodation or
cash see the above page for details.

Thanks for posting this. As a beginning emacs user, I've frequently
found myself on Xah's pages--he's also got some interesting historical
essays about the development of computer keyboards.
I noticed he's selling his "emacs tutorial" through for $15. I
bought it.
