Afaik, it involves getting written & signed papers from all the contributors sent to FSF...iow, it's not so easy and therefore I believe that for now it's better to just create public repo as Russel has suggested below: Russel> Works for me. I'll delay creating a Launchpad project and Russel> team, and establishing a Bazaar branch as the trunk until Russel> Andrei gives approval to the plan ;-) In parallel to that, it's possible to research further what is required to include d-mode in Emacs itself, but, as I wrote in another post, it can be win/win - having both separate project and being included in Emacs by submitting specific release prior to official release of Emacs. Sincerely, Gour p.s. Here is snippet from http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.php saying: <quote> Copyright issues when contributing to Emacs org-mode Org is made of many files. Most of them are also distributed as part of GNU Emacs. These files are called the Org core, and they are all copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. If you consider contributing to these files, your first need to grant the right to include your works in GNU Emacs to the FSF. For this you need to complete this form, send it to [email protected], and tell the Org-mode maintainer when this process is complete. Some people consider this a hassle. I don't want to discuss this in detail here - there are some good reasons for getting the copyright registered, an example is discussed in this FLOSS weekly podcast. Furthermore, by playing according to the Emacs rules, we gain the fantastic advantage that every version of Emacs ships with Org-mode already fully built in. So please consider doing this - it makes our work as maintainers so much easier, because we can then take your patches without any additional work. </quote> -- Gour | Hlapicina, Croatia | GPG key: CDBF17CA ----------------------------------------------------------------
