I am the new maintainer for doxymacs, an Emacs minor mode that makes writing Doxygen-formatted documentation comments in C, C++, Objective-C, Qt, Java, and Fortran easier, and which allows searching already generated documentation right from Emacs. This package was written by Ryan T. Sammartino about 20 years ago, but it has lacked maintenance for quite a long time now, and the code has languished a lot. There are many copies of doxymacs floating around, and I have been doing my best to merge in as many useful modifications as I can find. My current goals are to modernize the package and better integrate it with other Emacs packages, and to submit it to NonGNU Elpa.

doxymacs is an important part of an Emacs user's C++ workflow, and I've found it invaluable, but as it has become older and unsupported, it's been hard to rely on. Any support you can give, either here through a small sponsorship, or through reporting issues and submitting pull requests, would help me get this package back to the level of support it deserves.

About me

I used to be a computational and historical linguist, but now my day job is primarily systems programming in C++. I have spoken at CppCon and volunteered at C++Now, as well as taught the first C++ class I am aware of that introduced concepts and generic programming from day one, even before concepts were fully in the standard. My Haskell background is more academic: in particular I maintain a set of tools in Haskell for working with Ed Stabler's Minimalist Grammar linguistic formalism, mgs.
