Whereto next?

OK, so in 30 minutes I deliver my last final, so I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I'd like to think about what the next step for XEmacs is. I'm not inclined to follow Steve Yegge's suggestion<wink>. For those of you who have commit access to Mercurial, due to the Debian SSH fiasco, you've lost your RSA logins (they nuked all keys, basically). You need to update your SSH keys at alioth, and /despite what it may say on that page/, you /must/ use an /RSA/ key. A DSA key will simply be /silently ignored/. If you'd like to help with development, then get yourself an alioth account (go to http://alioth.debian.org/ and register), and tell Mike Sperber your account name. Stuff that will get done by me within the next 24 hours: 1. I think a couple of people need CVS accesses, email aliases, and the like (Malcolm, FkTPp). Stuff that will get done over the weekend: 2. Restore the (experimental) tracker as much as possible. This seems to be a mess on the Japan side, and they're not being terribly responsive. It would be nice to have a permanent home, although I'll be physically back there in a couple of months so maybe that will work for a while longer. I'll be asking Tux (currently hosting www.xemacs.org, ftp.xemacs.org, and lists.xemacs.org) about their plans for upgrades, but they're not moving any too fast as far as I can tell. Stuff that will get done "shortly" thereafter: 3. 21.5.29, and (I hope) some sort of biweekly or monthly snapshot schedule. "Where do you want to go today?" -------------------------------- Inquiring minds want to know. 21.4 is getting long in the tooth, and it really isn't appropriate in Unicode environments, which is pretty much everywhere. Besides the default Unicode support, what features that are /already/ in 21.5 need to be stabilized for /your/ daily needs? What features that 21.5 /doesn't/ have yet do you need? Think "small" here. No Lisp engine rewrites, (much as I would personally like it) no Unicode internal representation, etc. Stuff that's doable so we can get something out the door, and get back on track. Or can we even get "back on track"? What do you all think? _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
