almost half a developer! This might be a path worth taking for you

into place.
Remember, Eric can't type (or at best it's very painful for him), and
as I understand his situation one reason for his interest in XEmacs is
that voice control is almost as difficult for him at present. He's
looking for a way to gain more control over his environment through
XEmacs. While he's willing to put in a lot of effort, he says, he
still needs our help. This is good for us too IMO.
How much any given developer wants to help is a personal matter, of
course, but I hope people will keep in mind that the returns to making
it easier for Eric to get these "trivial" "startup" tasks done are
more than just helping him; it will be a much smoother XEmacs
experience for all new users.
BTW, I try not to think of people as *being* users or *being*
developers. Rather at any given time a person *acts as* a user or as
a developer. Of course some people are most visible on this list in
their developer role, and others as users. But *everybody* is a
contributor, and everybody uses XEmacs or is interested in it for some
reason.
