We need more WikEmacs Contributors. You can help the following way.

  • 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.
  • Use WikEmacs as your paste bin or gist. Look at your Emacs config file right now and save (thereby share) your very valuable customization with others. See Emacs Lisp, Mediawiki.el or Ido for general style. Also see Template:NewPage.
