Where do you want to go tomorrow?

sb> XEmacs 21.0 is winding down to a close. The latest scheduled sb> release date is (7/31[1]). Where do you want to go tomorrow? As long as we're wishin'... Mule should be reincarnated. Ben Wing did a great job of making the multi-byte-character-oriented text code intelligible, and there's an immense amount of useful, even essential, LISP-level code. However something needs to be done about the interface (eg, to avoid the need for an installed mule-base to build a Mule XEmacs). We also need to sort out the dependencies among Mule proper, LEIM, and Quail so that not-yet-fully-supported ports from FSF code (eg, Ethiopian) don't break XEmacs's ability to build. Although maybe that can be considered a bug to be sorted out in 21.1. It would be nice to get Olivier's flavored (1-, 2-, 4-byte) text objects, with bytes, ISO-8859, UCS-2, and UCS-4 as the internal codes. sb> Ideally, XEmacs 21.1 is in feature freeze now. There are a sb> ton of bugs to be fixed. It doesn't necessarily have to be sb> the case, but it's just my feeling. Sounds reasonable. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +1 (298) 53-5091
