Hello,
I am proposing a new package called electric-french [1]. This stemmed
from a discussion on emacs-humanities [2], where Jean-Christophe
("l@tlo") outlined a few common practices on nonbreak spaces in the
French language. See near the end of the message for the commentary
section.
First of all, I want to know if any other French speakers are interested
in using this package -- in particular, whether this is beneficial in
general, more than only l@tlo.
Secondly, if people are indeed interested, I hope this can ultimately go
to GNU elpa, but since I am still trying to get an employer disclaimer
(without which I am very reluctant to making any FSF open source
contributions), I don't want to propose its inclusion into elpa.git at
this very moment, hence this proposal into nongnu.git as a "temporary
workaround".
Alternatively, we can also pretend it were proposed for elpa.git, and
postpone the actual inclusion until everything settles on my end -- of
course, only if enough people are interested in this package.
I welcome any type of comments. Anything, including the package name,
can change with a valid reason. Though fluent in English, I am not a
native speaker, so there may be occasional errors on wording. Nor am I
so much a French speaker, and most information present in the package
were either provided by l@tlo or obtained via some quick [search
engine]'ing around, so any correction on that is welcome. Thanks.
(And I know I need to add the part-of/not-part-of Emacs paragraph to the
header. I'll add it when I know which elpa we are looking at.)

;;; Commentary:
;; This library facilitates adhering to various spacing
;; requirements of French literature. It provides a minor mode,
;; where when enabled, inserts nonbreak spaces before or after a
;; character whenever required. By default, this includes all
;; "two-part" punctuations (such as ?, !, etc.) and all quotation
;; punctuations.
;; There are three customizable options at the moment:
;; - `electric-french-nonbreak-space': the space character /
;; string to use for the nonbreak space. Apparently, different
;; locales use differenc space characters. See details at
;; <msgid:5FB8702E-0499-4231-AD2C-55906C27B60F@traduction-libre.org>
;; on emacs-humanities@gnu.org.
;; - `electric-french-prepend-space-puncts' and
;; `electric-french-append-space-puncts': which characters
;; should have nonbreak spaces prepended, or appended, to them,
;; respectively.
