Developers are more likely to look in a file called CONTRIBUTE than INSTALL.CVS for guidelines and splitting the information makes it a bit like a treasure hunt. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
