Emu was the first module that was converted to gadcon by someone other than raster. I did it before it was possible to add other modules to shelves, so I left it as both an old style gadman module and a new style gadcon module. Once it was possible to add other modules to shelves, I was quite pleased that the gadcon emu just worked. B-) My intention is to get rid of the gadman version the next time I do anything with emu. It is intended by raster to have different types of shelf, the one we have now is just the first type. Shelf's that take up the entire background will allow gadcon modules to behave like their gadman predecessors. Shelf's that live in window borders and shelf's that act the same as engage (zoom on hover) are also planned. As far as I know raster hasn't yet mentioned any details about how to develop any of these other types. My guess is that since the shelf/gadcon stuff was committed accidentally, other shelf types will have to wait until raster sorts out the issues with this first type. > speaking of which..

Everything that there is to know about emu is currently in the docs.
