MEGA (Make Emacs Great Again)

[henry_flower]

Коли мені було рочки 4, я дуже засмутився, коли дізнався що зі склеєної та пофарбованої модельки бімбардировщика Ту-95 не можна зробити маленький літачок, який літає. Що там може бути складного? Додати "двигуна" і все.

"Since 1990 I have planned to extend Emacs to do word processing", я не можу. Космічний корабель до Proxima Centauri b він не планує запустити?

Yes.  I want Emacs to become once again popular for editing text for
publication, as it was before.

More than that, I want to use it myself that way.

A long journey has to be achieved step by step.  Since 1990 I have
planned to extend Emacs to do word processing.  If that doesn't
interest you, you don't have to help, but please don't get in the way.

I use LibreOffice.  It works, but I very much miss the
fundamental capabilities of Emacs.

I want to do word processing in Emacs and program commands in Emacs Lisp.
