i added the independent matlab-mode github contributers to this mail. maybe
they read it.
just to make myself clear. Im not saying we (or they) should merge their
packages, although that would be good. what i meant is:
if the official project was in github originally, these people would have
just branched the original repo, and possibly suggested pull requests to
the official project. if Eric can't work on it, its ok, other people might
work on it.
thus if it is to start anew, i would say better do it in github to
facilitate these sporadic developers that we known are using github to
contribute their work.
ps to uwe:
company-mode is an autocompletion framework. its very good when it works
