xemacs livenessxemacs livenessPosted Mar 17, 2008 12:10 UTC (Mon) by eru (subscriber, #2753)In reply to: I am afraid emacs is becoming irrelevant by nix Parent article: Emacs chooses Bazaar While not an xemacs user (maybe I should become one just to be contrary :-), this thread prompted me to visit its site out of curiousity. Doesn't look so dead to me, eg. there is more traffic in mailing lists than in many other FOSS projects (eg see http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/xemacs-beta/2008-March/thread.html). The latest stable release is 1/2 years old, which also is not so unusual.

xemacs liveness Posted Mar 17, 2008 20:16 UTC (Mon) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] The pace of development at the moment is very, very slow. The unstable release is moving at the speed of most projects' stable releases, because nobody working on it has the time to do major development. (I include myself in this to some extent. I don't have hg commit privs largely because I, sigh, wouldn't have the time to do anything with them. I need some way to double the number of hours in the day, or perhaps triple them...) But it works, and is revivable if someone steps up to the plate *looks at self guiltily*
