That's a lot of material to cover in one lecture... I have written a small amount of e-lisp for my emacs but there may be some one more qualified than me to give such a lecture(if so speak up). I think you'll do fine. If you want to collaborate on preparing the lecture, I'll be happy to. the questions are: a) will this sort of a lecture intrest you? Aye. b) what should it contain? Cool Stuff(tm) one can do with emacs. c) what would you like emacs to do for you?

[Haifux] emacs power usage(lecture idea)
As W2L is over and we are going back to normality, I was thinking of new lectures. I for one have heared one too many times the statment: Vi is harder to learan than emacs, but many of emacs' more advanced features are difficult to master (we must have said so half a dozen times durring W2L) I think an emacs power usage lecture might be of interest. such a lecture might include: * emacs concepts, how it is built, majorminor modes. * the .emacs initialization script. * some E-lisp. * usefull functions and variables for configuring emacs * how the power user gets help for emacs, finding a function/variable to use. * other stuff. I have written a small amount of e-lisp for my emacs but there may be some one more qualified than me to give such a lecture(if so speak up). the questions are: a) will this sort of a lecture intrest you? b) what should it contain? c) what would you like emacs to do for you?
