Hi, any project lead/member can post an answer to this mail for a status report:
Gentoo Lisp in general: We are working on all our problems, but some sub-projects are a bit understaffed (e.g. Common Lisp, because pchrist is away for a year), while Scheme is in good shape but has only one active developer at the moment. We get along, but help is always needed. All our overlays are well maintained and an active playground whose changes make it into the tree eventually. Project members can tell more about their field, I guess. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/lisp/index.xml Gentoo GNU Emacs: We are two people (ulm and myself), which handle the low bug load. In the last two years we revamped the tree and created some interesting things for Emacs users and eased our development work. We are mostly in maintenance-mode because our plans are done in general: * A developer guide how to maintain GNU Emacs and packages * Documentation of the eclasses * Eselect module to use one of the up to four GNU Emacs versions installed in parallel * app-emacs/gentoo-syntax for ebuild writers * small tools (emacs-updater) to ease use of Emacs * Push a policy on packages that is flexible and easy to use * Create test plans for packages, so architecture teams know how to test the package (some are still missing) * Keyword (x86 and amd64 are mandatory) and stabilisation We still miss: * A user-guide, where a draft from a user is available, but needs some polishing. * ulm can tell more http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/lisp/emacs/index.xml XEmacs: graaff is the lone wolf here and because upstream development of XEmacs is not really on fire, he has not too much to do, I think. He introduced eclasses in a similar way as the GNU Emacs team.
