So apparently this repository is pretty popular now. I tend to use | ||
this repository as a dump for experimental code -- it can completely | ||
change without notice at any time, totally ruining your emacs init | ||
process. It's just support for my `.emacs`, it's not something I | ||
intended for other people to fork and use. Instead of nopasting | ||
snippets when someone asks on IRC, I can just link them here. | ||
|
||
If there's something you'd like to rely on for daily use, just send me | ||
an email (via github or real email; doesn't matter to me) saying you'd | ||
like to use it. Then I can split it out into its own project, | ||
worrying about things like documentation, non-conflicting namespaces, | ||
etc. This is not worth the effort if nobody but me uses something, | ||
but if other people are going to use the code, we should work to make | ||
it as compatable and conventional as possible | ||
|
||
You also get the added benefit of being able to include the new | ||
project as a submodule in your own configuration, like I do with | ||
eproject, eslide, slime, etc. And of course, if you find and fix a | ||
bug, you can patch the project, and everyone else using the module | ||
gets the fix too when they update their repository. Much better than | ||
cutting-and-pasting your favorite parts and having to fix some bug | ||
that 18 other people already did. | ||
|
||
With that in mind, everything in the root directory is stock code from | ||
somewhere else (either as a submodule, or cut-n-pasted from some place | ||
that doesn't provide a repository; eww), and everything in `_local` is | ||
new code I've written. Customizations and extra features for existing | ||
modes tend to be named `foo-extras.el`. Other things are named | ||
however I feel like :) | ||
|
||
Share, enjoy, and send me email and patches! | ||
