Re: Emacs Survey: Toolbars

[Christopher Dimech]

It concludes that besides Emacs, writers are the next group of people who make 
extensive
use of Emacs.  One consideration is to improve and enhance tools for writers.  
Special
functionality for writers are Org-Mode, Texinfo, Org-Capture, Calendar, Agenda, 
Diary.

Whilst the last few are of minor interest to programmers, they have value for 
writers.
Another area is Accessibility.
