Would creating a specific public place for the posting of XEmacs-specific elisp sources be a Good Thing? (It really doesn't seem as if xemacs-beta should be that place; xemacs-patches also doesn't seem like the right place.)

So we want to put Martin> checkers into xemacs-packages/games. But, in order to get the ball rolling -- to make the package maintainers aware of a candidate package, and to enable them to check it out and discuss it -- is posting the source (or a link to the source) to xemacs-beta the way to go? I'm pretty sure this is the second time Trey has posted this query, and this is the first time I recall anyone responding. If that is the "eventual goal", then the question: "How do I get my elisp package added to the XEmacs distribution" should probably be in the FAQ, along with an answer outlining the process. I'm not currently clear on what that process is supposed to be. "Question 1.1.3: How do I contribute to XEmacs itself?" looks as if it should contain the answer, but really doesn't. It also talks about 'posting', but it's unclear what forum one should post to; I guess xemacs-beta. john. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John S Jacobs Anderson \ <URL:http://www.xemacs.org> You'll have to pry my Emacs from my cold \ jacobs(a)xemacs.org dead oversized control-pressing left pinky finger. -- Randal L.
