I suggest the following approach. Pick any package you would like to
use and see to that we support the Emacs features needed (or use
XEmacs features when we have them.) Upgrades to big packages with wide
use like gnus or introduction of new packages like org-mode will
likely give us a rather good compatibility without digging down to
much in obscure features.
Right. I think right now org-mode is one of the most popular modes (just
look at the traffic in its mailing list). I use it daily (only version
7.8.X with Xemacs 21.5 on a daily base, but Michael Sperber has a
working version based on 8.3.X if I am not mistaken). Since there are
some many features added in so short a time, the compatibility with
Xemacs is very delicate.
Auctex: its dev team is preparing a 11.88 release and this time I promise to
synchronise it as fast as possible.
X-symbol. This package only works if a patch is applied to 21.5. I know
I promised Stephen to look into his lisp patch for face but it turned
out to be time consuming and I still have not succeeded.
Yours
