8 Though Emacs project (subproject of Lisp) has no official leader, I
9 speak up as senior dev. :)

13 XEmacs:
14 I cannot tell much, but graaff seems to have closed most of the severe
15 bugs and worked on having more/bette eclasses for the app-xemacs
16 category.
17
18 GNU Emacs:
19 * We took care of nearly all incoming bugs and punched ones
20 still sitting around
21 * Started keywording all packages with stable x86 and amd64 (majority
22 is done)
23 * Split up of eselect-ctags and eselect-emacs so them Vim wheenies
24 stop crying (just after Portage was able to handle needed upgrade path
25 correctly)
26 * Files which enable additional packages from app-emacs category in
27 Emacs are now stored in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo.d/, with
28 full backwards compatability (fully transparent for non-aware users).
29 emacs-updater from eselec-emacs package can check if you still have
30 site files in the old location.
31 * Support for echangelog (by C-c C-a) in app-emacs/gentoo-syntax
32 * Man, we got so many test plans for our packages that arch teams
33 should be able to stabilise our packages in the blink of an eye.
34 * Fixed some more packages that were working but not in a good shape
35 regarding coding practice (Emacs and Ebuild)
36
37 > What are we going to do:
38
39 * Improve the tree further, though we are nearly done
40 * Bring some really handy packages into the tree from our overlay
41 * Improve gentoo-syntax to use the whole Gentoo toolchain for Ebuild
42 developers
