- sconf.org/2021/talks/adventure \n# Choose Your Own (Technology-Enhanced Le
- arning) Adventure\nGreta Goetz\n\nThis presentation will move through Emac
- s artifacts: first illustrating possible paths for beginners and then mapp
- ing out the significance of the enhanced learning potential of Emacs (Cail
- let in Andler & Guerry\, Engelbart\, Markauskaite & Goodyear). The technol
- ogy-enhanced learning (TEL) that Emacs affords includes a systems view of
- 'many\, many features' (Stallman) which surpass the confines of a pre-fabr
- icated environment (Stiegler). This affords diverse possibilities for indi
- viduals to interact creatively and autonomously to satisfy their own needs
- (Ill\nich). Its adaptability will be shown to be an asset in supporting t
- he learning trends identified by the latest pedagogical research (Guo).\n\
- n# Intro\n\nThe 'many\, many features' (Stallman 2002: 4) of Emacs do not
- limit imaginable types of interactivity\, supporting both formal and infor
- mal learning (cf. Caillet in Andler & Guerry 2008). Emacs can function as
- a scaffold for development (cf. Vygotsky 1979: 86)\, promoting the creativ
- e and autonomous ability of individuals to interact with their digital env
- ironment and others who share the use of this tool (Illich 1973). Individu
- als can use Emacs as often or seldom as they want to express their needs a
- nd meaning in action\, with no obligation to use it (cf. Illich 1973).\n\n
- The formal learning involved pertains to Emacs programs and documentation
- (the 'temple') while related discussion and smaller task-based problem sol
- ving represents examples of informal learning (the 'forum') (cf. Caillet i
- n Andler & Guerry 2008). As a context-rich environment (Trocmé-Fabre 1999)
- \, Emacs fulfills the promise of general computing: not boxing users into
- personas (cf. Stiegler 2018) but allowing users at all levels to organize
- and assemble multiple knowledge domains (Markauskaite & Goodyear 2017) and
- programs so that they are 'just right'. People wanting to create tailored
- learning environments who feel alienated or unsupported by pre-fabricated
- text and programming environments will find their way with Emacs.\n\n1.
- What if we are beginners overwhelmed by formal Emacs documentation? Two po
- tential learning paths:\n\n - a. Build on a needs-basis. Make your own
- artifacts: no use-case is too small\; leave your trace.\n - b. Study ot
- hers' inits and use-cases\; Read Planet EmacsLife\; Consult programmer or
- power user use-cases\; Map out workflows.\n\n2. Emacs as personal\, creati
- ve\, autonomous:\n\n - a. Emacs allows for organic ongoing changes to t
- he organization of knowledge\, imagination\, and experience (cf. Guerry &
- Gaume 2009) . This is important as not all learners have the same spatial/
- visual needs and because these needs and knowledge can change over time (V
- ygotsky 1979\; Gardner 1983\; Wang 2020).\n - b. Emacs allows us to con
- trol our tools and tasks (Illich 1973). By contrast\, care-less use of pre
- -fabricated apps can lead to loss of know-how in life (Stiegler 2018).\n
- - c. The art of collecting traces (digital or not) is timeless - and impo
- rtant to survival.\n\n3. Emacs as systems design for technology-enhanced
- learning (TEL):\n\n - a. Good TEL design performance should also educat
- e the designer (Goodyear & Retalis 2010). Further\, good design focuses on
- 'frameworks'\, which are systems 'that can be customized\, specialized\,
- or extended to provide more specific\, more appropriate\, or slightly diff
- erent capabilities' (Alexander 1993 in Gabriel 1996)\, assembling epistemi
- c domains (Markauskaite & Goodyear 2017). This pedagogical approach is sup
- ported by Emacs artifacts (packages\, documentation\, forums\, etc.).\n
- - b. The 'wise' use of programming (Crichton 1983) actively manages and
- organizes workflow. This permits iterative development. Elementary use-cas
- e: a workflow that relies on PPT and Zoom vs. already having a more modula
- r viewpoint supported by diverse Emacs packages. The latter adaptability i
- s supported by the latest educational research (Guo). Further: Emacs allow
- s movement from user to contributor (Stiegler 2018\; Stavrou).\n - c. W
- ise programming can include fun programming - 'there are people who want t
- o put a stop to that' (Crichton 1983\; Gaffney 2019).\n - d. Extending
- this systems/design view\, Emacs is developed and maintained by a communit
- y dedicated to supporting this freedom of use in these multiple contexts (
- cf. Illich 1973).\n - e. One perspective is less likely to override oth
- ers in such a heterogeneous environment (Morin 2004).\n\n# Conclusion\n\nE
- macs does not limit any imaginable type of interactivity and promotes a di
- versity of related content\, further supporting the pursuit of more advanc
- ed TEL (viz. Guo). This was illustrated through an elementary use-case tha
- t compared being limited to PPT as opposed to having basic familiarity wit
- h Emacs\, which permits manageable\, continuous exploration of knowledge\,
- workflows\, and tools (cf. Alexander in Gabriel\; Goodyear & Retalis) and
- movement from consumer to creator (Stiegler\; Stavrou). Using Emacs means
- being able to use a sophisticated digital tool\, thanks to the contributi
- ons of heterogeneous maintainers\, developers\, and community members whos
- e artifacts comprise a meta picture. It is possible\, through using Emacs\
- , to learn about the design of digital learning and learning in general as
- access to knowledge is not walled off by prefabricated design(cf. Illich\
- ; Stiegler). We can choose our own adventure.\n\n\n# References\n\n## Gene

- -Christophe Helary\n\nEven if it is generally agreed that software localiz

- echnical reasons. Nonetheless\, the free software using public could great
- ly benefit from Emacs manuals translations\, even if the interface were to
- remain in English.\n\nOmegaT is a multiplatform GPL3+ "computer aided tra

- translators to what IDEs are for code writers. Casual translators can ben
- efit from their features but professionals or commited amateurs are the mo
- st likely to make the most use of such tools.\n\nWhen OmegaT\, free softwa

- ironment that can easily sustain the (close to) 2 million words load that
- comprise the manuals distributed with Emacs\, along with powerful features
- like arbitrary string protection for easy typing and QA (quality assuranc
- e)\, automatic legacy translation handling\, glossary management\, history

- org-mode is already an extremely powerful and\ncustomisable tool for task
- and time management\, note-taking\, calendar\nand agenda management\, and
- much more. Babel takes org a step further\nby letting you write\, evaluat
- e\, and export code in different languages\nfrom within a single file. In
- this talk\, I will highlight some\nfeatures of babel that I find exciting
- and extremely useful\,\nparticularly for an academic workflow.\n\nGetting
- started with babel can be intimidating\, but it's hard to stop\nusing it o
- nce you start. As an academic\, I typically don't manage\nlarge coding pro
- jects. My primary purpose is writing lecture notes\,\nassignments\, and pa
- pers\, and managing related admin. Typically\, I want\nto try and automate
- the boring portions of my workflow without extra\noverhead. I also tend t
- o find various tasks easier in some programming\nlanguages and harder in o
- thers\, and prefer to mix and match languages\nas the task dictates. Babel
- makes this process seamless.\n\nA basic use case is writing a document in
- org-mode and exporting it to\nLaTeX or HTML. Org-mode even lets you write
- multiple documents in a\nsingle org file\, which can be convenient. Babel
- lets you add all sorts\nof enhancements to the same file. For example\, s
- uppose we have a\nsingle org document with all the problem sets for a cour
- se. Within\nthis single file\, we could now:\n\n- draw pictures in ditaa
- \, graphviz\, or python instead of LaTeX\,\n- use python to do complex c
- alculations and then output the result as LaTeX\,\n- define skeletons to
- quickly draw up assignment templates\,\n- toggle exporting of assignmen
- ts with or without solutions based on tags\,\n- locally change export se
- ttings or run a post-export hook\,\n- automatically export to LaTeX afte
- r saving\,\n- tangle code blocks from some or all of the languages to ex
- ternal files.\n\nI will try to showcase features of babel that academics c
- ould find\nhelpful\, by presenting some ways in which I have tried to use
- babel. I\nwould also like to be inspired by other people's babel workflows
- !\n\n\n\n# Outline\n\n- 5-10 minutes: (brief description/outline)\n\nFor
- a 5-10 minute presentation I will give a brief intro and present one or t
- wo example files that heavily use babel. I will use these\nexamples to hig

- g-mode\nBlaine Mooers\n\nResearch papers in structural biology should incl
- ude the code used to make\nthe images of molecules in the article in the s
- upplemental materials.\nSome structural bioinformaticists have started to
- include\ntheir computer code in the supplemental materials to allow reader
- s\nto reproduce their analyses. However\, authors of papers reporting new\
- nmolecular structures often overlook the inclusion of the code that makes\
- nthe images of the molecules reported in their articles. Nonetheless\,\nth
- is aspect of reproducible research needs to become the standard practice\n
- to improve the rigor of the science.\n\nIn a literate programming document
- \, the author interleaves between blocks\nof prose the code that makes the
- images of molecules. The document allows\nthe reader to reproduce the ima
- ges in the manuscript by running the code.\nThe reader can also explore th
- e effect of altering the parameters in the\ncode. Org files are one altern
- ative for making such literate programming\ndocuments.\n\nWe developed a y
- asnippet snippet library called orgpymolpysnips for\nstructural biologists
- (<https://github.com/MooersLab/orgpymolpysnips>).\nThis library facilitat
- es the assembly of literate programming documents\nwith molecular images m
- ade by PyMOL. PyMOL is the most popular\nmolecular graphics program for cr
- eating images for publication\; it has\nover 100\,000 users\, which is a l
- ot of users in molecular biology. PyMOL\nhas been used to make many of the
- images of biological molecules found\non the covers of many Cell\, Nature
- \, and Science issues.\n\nWe used the `jupyter' language in org-babel to s
- end commands from\ncode blocks in Org files to PyMOL's Python API. PyMOL r
- eturns the\nmolecular image to the output block below the code block. An E
- macs\nuser can convert the Org file into a PDF\, `tangle' the code blocks\
- ninto a script file\, and submit these for non-Emacs users. We describe\nt

- to stop worrying and love emacs-devel\nStefan Kangas\n\nEmacs' greatest s
- trength is also its greatest weakness: it is **too** hackable.\n\nWe have
- a great community that experiment with new features that are still\nlackin
- g in Emacs core. They write up a package and develop the living daylights
- \nout of it\, until it is basically amazing. (I'm looking at you Magit.)\
- n\nThere are other examples such as helpful.el - great package\, but why a
- re those\nfeatures not in core? What about projectile? And so on.\n\nCor
- e demands copyright assignments (CLA). This is a fact of life. While I\n
- mostly agree with the people saying it is not helful\, they are there to p
- rotect\nEmacs from copyright issues in the future. So my suggestion here
- is simple:\njust **sign the papers**. It is just a formality\, and you sh
- ould only need to do\nit once.\n\nI suggest that any ambitious feature tha
- t we **might** want to see shipped in the\ndefault Emacs distribution shou
- ld by default go to GNU ELPA. You don't need to\ndo this\, of course\, an
- d I respect your decision\, but I urge you to do it.\n\nGNU ELPA does not
- have an exceptionally high standard\, but we do try to give any\nnew packa
- ge a proper code review.\n\nMELPA is excellent. We love MELPA. They don'
- t have a criterion for their\npackages that is important to the FSF\, whic
- h is to not recommend non-free\nsoftware. Therefore\, we could not recomm
- end it by default\, and had to build\nNonGNU ELPA.\n\nNonGNU ELPA will be
- used for packages that we don't have an assignment for but\nwould still li
- ke to distribute. It should ideally only be for old packages\nwhere getti
- ng a CLA is impractical.\n\nIt is sometimes perceived as hard to contribut
- e to Emacs core. This impression\nis largely wrong. If I can do it\, you
- can too.\n\nWe do have a problem in that our tools and methods (mailing l
- ists\, the bug\ntracker) are out-dated. This is largely correct. We want
- to migrate to\nsomething else\, and the best candidate is probably Source
- hut. Please volunteer\nto help!\n\nWe sometimes see people adding stuff t
- o their Init file to fix this or that\nannoyance\, or even bug. The more
- ambitious would go on to package up such fixes\nin what I call "patch pack
- ages". "Hey\, foo-mode doesn't have support for\n'bookmark-set'\, let's wr
- ite a package!" I am here to suggest that you submit a\npatch to Emacs in
- stead.\n\nFixing an issue for one person is good\, and fixing it for more
- people is even\nbetter. Fixing it for everyone? Priceless.\n\nemacs-deve
- l is not that scary\, nor is email. We are really quite friendly and\neas
- y going\, but the communication we prefer (for reasons of efficiency - the
- \nvolume is very high) is often very brief and to the point. We are tryin
- g our\nbest at communicating\, but sometimes fail.\n\nAnd we need more con
- tributors. We need a successful Emacs on this planet.\n\nSo should you re
- ally write a package\, or should YOU become a core contributor?\n\n\n\n# O
- utline\n\n- I will urge people to consider contributing to Emacs instead o
- f\n writing small packages\, and explain GNU ELPA\, MELPA\, CLA.\n- I wil
- l go into greater detail about emacs-devel\, how it "works"\n (e.g. is Em
- acs conservative without reason?)\, how to get things\n done and the nece

- ation I will show an idea that feels completely obvious\nonce we see it\,
- but that only occured to me after after using Emacs\nand eev as my main in
- terface to the computer for more than 20 years.\nTake any interpreted lang
- uage that supports multi-line comments\, and\nwhose interpreter can be run
- in an Emacs buffer - for example Lua\,\nHaskell\, Python\, or Julia\; let
- 's say just "Lua" from here on for\nsimplicity. So: suppose that we have a
- Lua script that we wrote\, that\nis called "foo.lua" and that defines lot
- s of functions and defines the\nclasses Bar and Bletch. We can put after t
- he definition of the class\nBar a multi-line comment that contains an eepi
- tch block that when\nexecuted starts a Lua interpreter\, loads the script
- foo.lua (by\nrunning 'dofile "foo.lua"')\, and then has several tests for
- that class\nand its methods\; and we can put another block with tests like
- that\nafter the class Bletch\, and other blocks after some functions. Eep
- itch\nallows sending these tests line by line to the Lua interpreter by\nt
- yping <f8\\> on each line that we want to send\, and this lets us create\n
- tests that are very easy to understand even without writing comments\;\nth
- is gives us a very quick way to document code by executable tests\,\nthat
- is super-great for experimental code that is still going to\nchange a lot
- before running the risk of being read by other people.\n\nThese multi-line
- comments with eepitch blocks that run an interpreter\nand make it load th
- e current file are called "test blocks". The\ncommand \\`M-x eeit' inserts
- a test block at point\, using the major mode\nto decide the right syntax
- to use for the multi-line comments and for\nthe "dofile". We can configure
- the syntax of the test blocks for the\ncurrent major mode by running \\`M
- -x find-eeit-links'\; this can also be\nused to add support for test block
- s to more languages (or\, more\nprecisely: to more major modes).\n\nEduard

+DESCRIPTION: Times are approximate and will probably change. \nhttps://emac
+ sconf.org/2021/talks/adventure \n# Choose Your Own (Technology-Enhanced Le
+ arning) Adventure\nGreta Goetz\n\nThis presentation will move through Emac
+ s artifacts: first illustrating possible paths for beginners and then mapp
+ ing out the significance of the enhanced learning potential of Emacs (Cail
+ let in Andler & Guerry\, Engelbart\, Markauskaite & Goodyear). The technol
+ ogy-enhanced learning (TEL) that Emacs affords includes a systems view of
+ 'many\, many features' (Stallman) which surpass the confines of a pre-fabr
+ icated environment (Stiegler). This affords diverse possibilities for indi
+ viduals to interact creatively and autonomously to satisfy their own needs
+ (Ill\nich). Its adaptability will be shown to be an asset in supporting t
+ he learning trends identified by the latest pedagogical research (Guo).\n\
+ n# Intro\n\nThe 'many\, many features' (Stallman 2002: 4) of Emacs do not
+ limit imaginable types of interactivity\, supporting both formal and infor
+ mal learning (cf. Caillet in Andler & Guerry 2008). Emacs can function as
+ a scaffold for development (cf. Vygotsky 1979: 86)\, promoting the creativ
+ e and autonomous ability of individuals to interact with their digital env
+ ironment and others who share the use of this tool (Illich 1973). Individu
+ als can use Emacs as often or seldom as they want to express their needs a
+ nd meaning in action\, with no obligation to use it (cf. Illich 1973).\n\n
+ The formal learning involved pertains to Emacs programs and documentation
+ (the 'temple') while related discussion and smaller task-based problem sol
+ ving represents examples of informal learning (the 'forum') (cf. Caillet i
+ n Andler & Guerry 2008). As a context-rich environment (Trocmé-Fabre 1999)
+ \, Emacs fulfills the promise of general computing: not boxing users into
+ personas (cf. Stiegler 2018) but allowing users at all levels to organize
+ and assemble multiple knowledge domains (Markauskaite & Goodyear 2017) and
+ programs so that they are 'just right'. People wanting to create tailored
+ learning environments who feel alienated or unsupported by pre-fabricated
+ text and programming environments will find their way with Emacs.\n\n1.
+ What if we are beginners overwhelmed by formal Emacs documentation? Two po
+ tential learning paths:\n\n - a. Build on a needs-basis. Make your own
+ artifacts: no use-case is too small\; leave your trace.\n - b. Study ot
+ hers' inits and use-cases\; Read Planet EmacsLife\; Consult programmer or
+ power user use-cases\; Map out workflows.\n\n2. Emacs as personal\, creati
+ ve\, autonomous:\n\n - a. Emacs allows for organic ongoing changes to t
+ he organization of knowledge\, imagination\, and experience (cf. Guerry &
+ Gaume 2009) . This is important as not all learners have the same spatial/
+ visual needs and because these needs and knowledge can change over time (V
+ ygotsky 1979\; Gardner 1983\; Wang 2020).\n - b. Emacs allows us to con
+ trol our tools and tasks (Illich 1973). By contrast\, care-less use of pre
+ -fabricated apps can lead to loss of know-how in life (Stiegler 2018).\n
+ - c. The art of collecting traces (digital or not) is timeless - and impo
+ rtant to survival.\n\n3. Emacs as systems design for technology-enhanced
+ learning (TEL):\n\n - a. Good TEL design performance should also educat
+ e the designer (Goodyear & Retalis 2010). Further\, good design focuses on
+ 'frameworks'\, which are systems 'that can be customized\, specialized\,
+ or extended to provide more specific\, more appropriate\, or slightly diff
+ erent capabilities' (Alexander 1993 in Gabriel 1996)\, assembling epistemi
+ c domains (Markauskaite & Goodyear 2017). This pedagogical approach is sup
+ ported by Emacs artifacts (packages\, documentation\, forums\, etc.).\n
+ - b. The 'wise' use of programming (Crichton 1983) actively manages and
+ organizes workflow. This permits iterative development. Elementary use-cas
+ e: a workflow that relies on PPT and Zoom vs. already having a more modula
+ r viewpoint supported by diverse Emacs packages. The latter adaptability i
+ s supported by the latest educational research (Guo). Further: Emacs allow
+ s movement from user to contributor (Stiegler 2018\; Stavrou).\n - c. W
+ ise programming can include fun programming - 'there are people who want t
+ o put a stop to that' (Crichton 1983\; Gaffney 2019).\n - d. Extending
+ this systems/design view\, Emacs is developed and maintained by a communit
+ y dedicated to supporting this freedom of use in these multiple contexts (
+ cf. Illich 1973).\n - e. One perspective is less likely to override oth
+ ers in such a heterogeneous environment (Morin 2004).\n\n# Conclusion\n\nE
+ macs does not limit any imaginable type of interactivity and promotes a di
+ versity of related content\, further supporting the pursuit of more advanc
+ ed TEL (viz. Guo). This was illustrated through an elementary use-case tha
+ t compared being limited to PPT as opposed to having basic familiarity wit
+ h Emacs\, which permits manageable\, continuous exploration of knowledge\,
+ workflows\, and tools (cf. Alexander in Gabriel\; Goodyear & Retalis) and
+ movement from consumer to creator (Stiegler\; Stavrou). Using Emacs means
+ being able to use a sophisticated digital tool\, thanks to the contributi
+ ons of heterogeneous maintainers\, developers\, and community members whos
+ e artifacts comprise a meta picture. It is possible\, through using Emacs\
+ , to learn about the design of digital learning and learning in general as
+ access to knowledge is not walled off by prefabricated design(cf. Illich\
+ ; Stiegler). We can choose our own adventure.\n\n\n# References\n\n## Gene

+ -Christophe Helary\n\nEven if it is generally agreed that software localiz
+ ation is a good thing\, Emacs is lacking in that respect for a number of t
+ echnical reasons. Nonetheless\, the free software using public could great
+ ly benefit from Emacs manuals translations\, even if the interface were to
+ remain in English.\n\nOmegaT is a multiplatform GPL3+ "computer aided tra
+ nslation" (CAT) tool running on OpenJDK 8. CATs are roughly equivalent for
+ translators to what IDEs are for code writers. Casual translators can ben
+ efit from their features but professionals or commited amateurs are the mo
+ st likely to make the most use of such tools.\n\nWhen OmegaT\, free softwa
+ re based forges and Emacs meet\, we have a free multi-user translation env
+ ironment that can easily sustain the (close to) 2 million words load that
+ comprise the manuals distributed with Emacs\, along with powerful features
+ like arbitrary string protection for easy typing and QA (quality assuranc
+ e)\, automatic legacy translation handling\, glossary management\, history
+ based or predictive autocompletion\, etc.\n\nThe current trial project fo

+ org-mode is already an extremely powerful and\ncustomisable tool for task
+ and time management\, note-taking\, calendar\nand agenda management\, and
+ much more. Babel takes org a step further\nby letting you write\, evaluat
+ e\, and export code in different languages\nfrom within a single file. In
+ this talk\, I will highlight some\nfeatures of babel that I find exciting
+ and extremely useful\,\nparticularly for an academic workflow.\n\nGetting
+ started with babel can be intimidating\, but it's hard to stop\nusing it o
+ nce you start. As an academic\, I typically don't manage\nlarge coding pro
+ jects. My primary purpose is writing lecture notes\,\nassignments\, and pa
+ pers\, and managing related admin. Typically\, I want\nto try and automate
+ the boring portions of my workflow without extra\noverhead. I also tend t
+ o find various tasks easier in some programming\nlanguages and harder in o
+ thers\, and prefer to mix and match languages\nas the task dictates. Babel
+ makes this process seamless.\n\nA basic use case is writing a document in
+ org-mode and exporting it to\nLaTeX or HTML. Org-mode even lets you write
+ multiple documents in a\nsingle org file\, which can be convenient. Babel
+ lets you add all sorts\nof enhancements to the same file. For example\, s
+ uppose we have a\nsingle org document with all the problem sets for a cour
+ se. Within\nthis single file\, we could now:\n\n- draw pictures in ditaa
+ \, graphviz\, or python instead of LaTeX\,\n- use python to do complex c
+ alculations and then output the result as LaTeX\,\n- define skeletons to
+ quickly draw up assignment templates\,\n- toggle exporting of assignmen
+ ts with or without solutions based on tags\,\n- locally change export se
+ ttings or run a post-export hook\,\n- automatically export to LaTeX afte
+ r saving\,\n- tangle code blocks from some or all of the languages to ex
+ ternal files.\n\nI will try to showcase features of babel that academics c
+ ould find\nhelpful\, by presenting some ways in which I have tried to use
+ babel. I\nwould also like to be inspired by other people's babel workflows
+ !\n\n\n\n# Outline\n\n- 5-10 minutes: (brief description/outline)\n\nFor

+ in a sense that it provides consistency\nacross different tools and appli
+ cations within the Emacs ecosystem\, as well as\nexternal apps that can be
+ integrated into it. It is also the most truly\nmalleable environment\, ea
+ ch element of which can be adjusted or extended\,\ntherefore providing the
+ user with more power and freedom in personal computing.\nEmacs definitely
+ can be considered one of greatest software products in\nexistence.\n\nAs
+ a non-programmer\, having had the chance to stumble upon Emacs a couple of
+ \nyears ago\, the only regret to have is that it didn't happen earlier. Th
+ e definite\nkiller feature of Emacs - Org-mode\, is what draws many of the
+ less technical\nfolks to join the party and gradually start to use Emacs
+ for writing documents\,\nwhether personal or work related\, manage tasks\,
+ emails and potentially everything\nelse. The learning curve and differenc
+ e in approach\, however\, leaves some\npotential users too scared of the a
+ rcane interface even with all it's quirks and\nfeatures because it require
+ s at least some technical skills to understand and\nuse properly\, and doe
+ s not have an easy way to connect with external tools that\nmost people ar
+ e forced to use for work.\n\nThis talk proposes some ideas about how the m
+ odel of Emacs\, it's focus on\nconsistency\, extensibility\, as well as it
+ 's powerful interaction model can be\ncarried over to make modern interfac
+ es\, whether desktop or web applications\,\nthat would be designed with a
+ goal of reflecting the spirit of Emacs in terms of\nthe aforementioned fea
+ tures it possesses\, and therefore enhance the capabilities\nof the Emacs\
+ , while at the same time utilizing it as a backend for\ntext-processing an
+ d editing to a large extent. It would be really great to have\na personal
+ web-interface for using modern task management tools\, chats\, emails\nand
+ such\, but from a UI defined by the user. The goal is to use it on a desk
+ top\nor mobile\, locally or self-hosted on a server\, with support for tou
+ ch and\ngesture-based workflows\, while preserving the Emacs philosophy an
+ d allowing to\nseamlessly switch between Emacs and its web extension\n\nTh
+ e proposed solution is to integrate more of the modern tools with Emacs\,\
+ nutilize Org-mode as a way to define application-specific parameters for t
+ hese\ntools through Org properties\, and then utilize these parameters for
+ making a\nmodern local frontend that would enhance Emacs UI while allowin
+ g to use external\ntools in a more personal and freedom respecting way (ma

+DESCRIPTION: Times are approximate and will probably change. \nhttps://emac
+ sconf.org/2021/talks/devel \n# Don't write that package! or: How I learned
+ to stop worrying and love emacs-devel\nStefan Kangas\n\nEmacs' greatest s
+ trength is also its greatest weakness: it is **too** hackable.\n\nWe have
+ a great community that experiment with new features that are still\nlackin
+ g in Emacs core. They write up a package and develop the living daylights
+ \nout of it\, until it is basically amazing. (I'm looking at you Magit.)\
+ n\nThere are other examples such as helpful.el - great package\, but why a
+ re those\nfeatures not in core? What about projectile? And so on.\n\nCor
+ e demands copyright assignments (CLA). This is a fact of life. While I\n
+ mostly agree with the people saying it is not helful\, they are there to p
+ rotect\nEmacs from copyright issues in the future. So my suggestion here
+ is simple:\njust **sign the papers**. It is just a formality\, and you sh
+ ould only need to do\nit once.\n\nI suggest that any ambitious feature tha
+ t we **might** want to see shipped in the\ndefault Emacs distribution shou
+ ld by default go to GNU ELPA. You don't need to\ndo this\, of course\, an
+ d I respect your decision\, but I urge you to do it.\n\nGNU ELPA does not
+ have an exceptionally high standard\, but we do try to give any\nnew packa
+ ge a proper code review.\n\nMELPA is excellent. We love MELPA. They don'
+ t have a criterion for their\npackages that is important to the FSF\, whic
+ h is to not recommend non-free\nsoftware. Therefore\, we could not recomm
+ end it by default\, and had to build\nNonGNU ELPA.\n\nNonGNU ELPA will be
+ used for packages that we don't have an assignment for but\nwould still li
+ ke to distribute. It should ideally only be for old packages\nwhere getti
+ ng a CLA is impractical.\n\nIt is sometimes perceived as hard to contribut
+ e to Emacs core. This impression\nis largely wrong. If I can do it\, you
+ can too.\n\nWe do have a problem in that our tools and methods (mailing l
+ ists\, the bug\ntracker) are out-dated. This is largely correct. We want
+ to migrate to\nsomething else\, and the best candidate is probably Source
+ hut. Please volunteer\nto help!\n\nWe sometimes see people adding stuff t
+ o their Init file to fix this or that\nannoyance\, or even bug. The more
+ ambitious would go on to package up such fixes\nin what I call "patch pack
+ ages". "Hey\, foo-mode doesn't have support for\n'bookmark-set'\, let's wr
+ ite a package!" I am here to suggest that you submit a\npatch to Emacs in
+ stead.\n\nFixing an issue for one person is good\, and fixing it for more
+ people is even\nbetter. Fixing it for everyone? Priceless.\n\nemacs-deve
+ l is not that scary\, nor is email. We are really quite friendly and\neas
+ y going\, but the communication we prefer (for reasons of efficiency - the
+ \nvolume is very high) is often very brief and to the point. We are tryin
+ g our\nbest at communicating\, but sometimes fail.\n\nAnd we need more con
+ tributors. We need a successful Emacs on this planet.\n\nSo should you re
+ ally write a package\, or should YOU become a core contributor?\n\n\n\n# O
+ utline\n\n- I will urge people to consider contributing to Emacs instead o
+ f\n writing small packages\, and explain GNU ELPA\, MELPA\, CLA.\n- I wil
+ l go into greater detail about emacs-devel\, how it "works"\n (e.g. is Em
+ acs conservative without reason?)\, how to get things\n done and the nece

+ ation I will show an idea that feels completely obvious\nonce we see it\,
+ but that only occured to me after after using Emacs\nand eev as my main in
+ terface to the computer for more than 20 years.\nTake any interpreted lang
+ uage that supports multi-line comments\, and\nwhose interpreter can be run
+ in an Emacs buffer - for example Lua\,\nHaskell\, Python\, or Julia\; let
+ 's say just "Lua" from here on for\nsimplicity. So: suppose that we have a
+ Lua script that we wrote\, that\nis called "foo.lua" and that defines lot
+ s of functions and defines the\nclasses Bar and Bletch. We can put after t
+ he definition of the class\nBar a multi-line comment that contains an eepi
+ tch block that when\nexecuted starts a Lua interpreter\, loads the script
+ foo.lua (by\nrunning 'dofile "foo.lua"')\, and then has several tests for
+ that class\nand its methods\; and we can put another block with tests like
+ that\nafter the class Bletch\, and other blocks after some functions. Eep
+ itch\nallows sending these tests line by line to the Lua interpreter by\nt
+ yping <f8\\> on each line that we want to send\, and this lets us create\n
+ tests that are very easy to understand even without writing comments\;\nth
+ is gives us a very quick way to document code by executable tests\,\nthat
+ is super-great for experimental code that is still going to\nchange a lot
+ before running the risk of being read by other people.\n\nThese multi-line
+ comments with eepitch blocks that run an interpreter\nand make it load th
+ e current file are called "test blocks". The\ncommand \\`M-x eeit' inserts
+ a test block at point\, using the major mode\nto decide the right syntax
+ to use for the multi-line comments and for\nthe "dofile". We can configure
+ the syntax of the test blocks for the\ncurrent major mode by running \\`M
+ -x find-eeit-links'\; this can also be\nused to add support for test block
+ s to more languages (or\, more\nprecisely: to more major modes).\n\nEduard
