I don't think it is a FSF site, it doesn't look like one. Toby is the person in question and he had points to FAQs, manuals etc on his page. Then he wanted to redesign it. During a few weeks I also sent a few mails and read some of the traffic amongst the "grunts" as the mailing list was called. It seems that developpment has stalled, however, and I was unable to reach anybody from that group (since the x@emacs.org email addresses didn't work anymore). Anyway, emacs.org was to host the Lispmeralda archive by Daniel, and Lispmeralda is still work in progress. Something akin to the Ohio Emacs Lisp Archive. The lisp archive has closed down, the Emacs Lisp List (ELL) seems to unmaintained at the moment. <plug> Personally, I would like to move efforts over to the EmacsWiki at http://www.emacswiki.org/ -- there, users can maintain the pages themselves. The only thing it doesn't offer is ftp space. This is where Lispmeralda comes in. I hope to work together with Daniel to create a tight Lispmeralda / EmacsWiki integration -- sources and documentation, answers, lore, whatever. That would relieve us from the single points of failure: the maintainer's time. </plug> Alex. -- http://www.geocities.com/kensanata/emacs.html http://www.emacswiki.org/ === Subject: Re: [OT?] Gnu Emacs is dying?

Well since Daniel is already working on Lispmeralda, I don't want to duplicate effort, and other than that, the ELL has shown that it works pretty well eventhough no ftp space was provided.
