Emacs is released
Jun. 4th, 2007 01:08 amGNU Emacs 22.1 is now available. Once again, my piece made the short list (see 2nd-to-last bullet point, which ends with 'etc' so not everybody's work made the cut). Now I have to wait a few more months until some Linux distros make their new releases including this work, and then I will be a SOMEBODY.
Example distro: Fedora Core 6 was 3.3 gigabytes. My piece is about 100 kilobytes. So when Emacs-22 gets included in Fedora, I will have written about 0.00289% of a Linux distro! On the other paw, Debian Etch (which is probably the most "complete" distro) takes up 21 CD-ROMs, which is about 13.5 gigabytes, so my contribution will be only 0.000706%. Still, these numbers are quite large considering that I am only 0.0000000152% of the world's population, or even less if you include dogs.
