The comments are wrong. ootags is not maintained by anyone at GNU or XEmacs anymore; if it's maintained at all, Bob Weiner is doing it.

We can't really know whether people are using the oo-browser outside of InfoDock or not. (If not, we could drop it.) It doesn't much hurt to keep it, and potentially does harm to drop it unless and until oo-browser understands modern etags TAGS files (and assuming that etags emits the information that oo-browser needs). -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
