You want to get them into to a state where everybody and his dog can use them and IMHO the best phase to do that is when the feature is still new. No, but I think they are more or less orthogonal. I am all for make concentrated push on the essentials, but you cannot simply trade projects for another when the only time available is volunteer time. Even though I know one of the most useful contributions right now XEmacs would be to work a complete weekend with the FSF and XEmacs User manuals in an Ediff session, I still want to worry why using an XEmacs's external window in an XEmacs subwindow doesn't work. <fatalist> If the purpose is to attract more users, high priority should given to implement transpart background support </fatalist> Jan
