I'm very glad to hear that emacs has finally gotten its own config/
directory (that makes gas the last holdout, I believe).

 Now how about the point I raised a few months back about making the
lisp directory better organized? As I pointed out before, it's
definately gotten to the point where one doesn't know what one's got
anymore. This becomes especially true as the more advanced emacs users
start accumulating their own slew of .el hacks (both self-authored and
from the net). My elisp directory already contains 55 different
"auxilliary tools" all jumbled togther with little or no
classification of what each mystery .el file does.

 It would sure be nice if some organizational mechanism existed for me
to drop new and existing stuff into so that other users of my machine
could also benefit from the things I've written/ferreted away.  It
would also be A Good Thing for the new users, who are often put off by
the sheer size of all the extras. I know it took me a LONG time to
finally figure out what each and every auxilliary mode did (well,
actually, I still don't know what they _all_ do) and how exactly to
make use of them. Even a simple generally available index of what each
file does (a one line summary would be fine) and which functions it
(provide)'s would be a whole lot better than nothing, though it seems
that, with emacs's tag/keyword handing, one could certainly do better.

 I know that it's easy to be long on complaints and short on actual
effort expended to improve things, and I don't like to sound like I'm
just knocking things for the sake of being difficult. It _would_ be
nice, however, if we could bandy about some suggestions concerning
what people would like to see - perhaps someone will get motivated
enough to work a bit on a sample solution.

 I don't, unfortunately, have sufficient time to tackle such a project
alone (I have far too much GNU related stuff on my plate already), but
I'd be happy to provide the occasional push to a more community-driven
effort.
