Re: evangelizing xemacs with a graphical tutorial

I think you underestimate the power of XEmacs. OpenDocument files are xml, no? So it would not be hard to extract relevant parts from those files and put them into manuals or docstrings, or vice versa. Vice versa is actually more likely, since we would presumably wish to include XEmacs-specific changes. But it is problematic because we don't have the option of multiple licensing ourselves; the FSF has been unhelpful, and in any case with very diffuse ownership getting the necessary permissions to relicense is generally a very uncertain process. For this reason, we may want to distribute them separately simply to make the point that the license is incompatible. This doesn't prevent the package from hooking in to the menus and so on, it just means that a certain subset of users (namely, those who don't use the full set of packages for some reason) would have to go to extra effort to get the fancy tutorial.
