While I disagree on a lot of the premises (e.g. the email/mailing list
thing - most of the developers I know are pretty happy with email and
lists) I think he has a point: it is *very* hard to get into Emacs
coding. I tried it more than once but failed. Documentation seems very
distributed (for a look here, for b look over there, ...), a clear
step-by-step guide to get a build environment including running tests
seems to be missing. E.g. why is there no "contribute" document on the
shiny new website? Heck, I even failed to find beginner bugs in the bug
tracker.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to by grumpy, I am extremly grateful
for the hard work you people do.
Best regards,
