Grand reopening! WikEmacs is now under new management and will remain open indefinitely. Spread the word!
First time visitors can start exploring WikEmacs. We have added lots of useful pages since the launch of WikEmacs.
We need more WikEmacs Contributors. You can help the following way.
- Priority tasks
- Migrate content from EmacsWiki. Please adopt the following approach - I found this on EmacsWiki which was helpful. But it took me a lot of time to find it. Now that I have found it, I will put it in WikEmacs so that others can benefit from it.
- Intermediate tasks
- Provide tutorials or content for the popular packages or built-in packages.
- Add more content to short pages.
- Document or add more third party packages.
- Other tasks
- Copy edit recent changes or be a moral police.
- Add more members to various categories.
- Categorize one of these pages uncategorized pages.
