Hi, |

any project lead/member can post an answer to this mail for a status |

Gentoo Lisp in general: |
7 |
We are working on all our problems, but some sub-projects are a bit |
8 |
understaffed (e.g. Common Lisp, because pchrist is away for a year), |
9 |
while Scheme is in good shape but has only one active developer at the |
10 |
moment. We get along, but help is always needed. All our overlays |
11 |
are well maintained and an active playground whose changes make it into |
12 |
the tree eventually. Project members can tell more about their field, |
13 |
I guess. |

Gentoo GNU Emacs: |
17 |
We are two people (ulm and myself), which handle the low bug load. In |
18 |
the last two years we revamped the tree and created some interesting |
19 |
things for Emacs users and eased our development work. We are mostly |
20 |
in maintenance-mode because our plans are done in general: |
21 |
|
22 |
* A developer guide how to maintain GNU Emacs and packages |
23 |
* Documentation of the eclasses |
24 |
* Eselect module to use one of the up to four GNU Emacs versions |
25 |
installed in parallel |
26 |
* app-emacs/gentoo-syntax for ebuild writers |
27 |
* small tools (emacs-updater) to ease use of Emacs |
28 |
* Push a policy on packages that is flexible and easy to use |
29 |
* Create test plans for packages, so architecture teams know how to |
30 |
test the package (some are still missing) |
31 |
* Keyword (x86 and amd64 are mandatory) and stabilisation |
32 |
|
33 |
We still miss: |
34 |
* A user-guide, where a draft from a user is available, but needs some |
35 |
polishing. |
36 |
* ulm can tell more |

XEmacs: |
40 |
graaff is the lone wolf here and because upstream development of XEmacs |
41 |
is not really on fire, he has not too much to do, I think. He |
42 |
introduced eclasses in a similar way as the GNU Emacs team. |
