Hi,
>From time to time, questions about contributing to Emacs appears on this
list. Examples are:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2001-11/msg01087.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-03/msg00750.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-07/msg00910.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-01/msg00631.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-04/msg00077.html
And Stafan said that there is not a good welcome guide.[fn:2] So I wrote
a welcome guide[fn:1] to reduce this kind of questions and give
potential contributors a map on it. Many ideas in this guide are from
etc/CONTRIBUTE and admin/notes.
The question now is, what is the future of this guide? I have some
thoughts:
a) Continue maintaining this guide by myself;
b) Register a new project on Savannah;
c) Integrate in into Emacs website and let it maintained by Emacs Dev;
d) Convert it to Oddmuse text formatting rules and create a page on
Emacs Wiki;
e) Convert in to Texinfo (using ox-texinfo.el) format, and make it an
Emacs manual (or a node of an Emacs manual).
Maybe there are some other ideas, any suggestions?
