I can try, I actually have good knowledge of Emacs Lisp and C, but I'm:
1. Already working on one free-software project, which I know several
people want to use and they're waiting for its release.
2. I have less and less free time, but most importantly:
3. FSF will need to send me papers to sign. This is a real hurdle:
a. I'm in Russia, and all this paperwork will take a month (or
longer);
b. I will soon move to different city and I don't even know my new
address yet.
So, maybe I could do that but not right now :-(
Anyway, I'll consider contributing to Emacs, it's great piece of
software that I use every day, after all.
