If you do, please report -them; your bug reports are valuable contributions to Emacs/W3, since -they allow us to notice and fix problems on machines we don't have, or -in code we don't use often. See the file BUGS for more information on -how to report bugs. - -The file INSTALL in this directory says how to bring up Emacs/W3 on -Unix, once you have loaded the entire subtree of this directory. - -Note that the Emacs/W3 installation procedure has changed since -version 2.x; you will probably want to read the file INSTALL even if -you have installed Emacs/W3 before. The new procedure is intended to -simplify installation, and make it easier to upgrade in the future. - -Reports of bugs in Emacs/W3 should be sent to the mailing list -wmperry+w3@cs.indiana.edu. See the "Reporting Bugs" section of the -Emacs/W3 manual for more information on how to report bugs. See the -"More Help" section of the Emacs/W3 manual for more information on -mailing lists relating to Emacs/W3. - -The file `configure' is a shell script to acclimate Emacs to the -oddities of your processor and operating system. It creates the file -`Makefile' (a script for the `make' program), which automates the -process of building and installing Emacs. See INSTALL for more -detailed information. - -There are several subdirectories: - -`etc' holds miscellaneous architecture-independent data files -`lisp' holds the lisp code for Emacs/W3 -`texi' holds the documentation tree for Emacs/W3 -`contrib' holds user-contributed utilities that are not officially supported - -This version requires either Emacs 20.3 or later, or XEmacs 20.4 or -later. For Emacs, at least 20.4 is recommended since 20.3 (the first -release of Mule 4) was somewhat buggy. +Emacs/W3 is a web browser written entirely in Emacs Lisp. As such, it has +unique strengths and drawbacks. The strengths are related to its integration +with Emacs; the drawbacks are that it is relatively slow and sometimes +blocks your editing session. Development has been dormant for a couple of +years, so expect bugs due to bit rot. +Please report bugs via M-x report-emacs-bug. + +This is a very rough pass at the web site (by the original author) just to +get some thoughts down and accessible to more people. The project page @ +Savannah has a fairly detailed task list. A brief description of each +component and a list of questions and/or resources related to it may be +found in the following documents. |
