[CEDET-devel] CEDET, future and Emacs

[Fermin <fm...@po...>]

Hello everyone!

My name is Fermin, I'm an Emacs hacker (among other things) and I've 
been messing around with CEDET these past year or so, and I really like 
it overall,
I can understand his faults and how/why the Emacs community is not 
taking it into account too much these days, but I also think that this 
can change.

I will propose myself as a maintainer of CEDET in the Emacs mailing 
list, I have experience working with "legacy" software or software that 
is not
in active development anymore and I can bring modern ideas to the table.

The most important thing for me right now is to make CEDET more visible, 
provide good documentation and encourage the community to contribute.

Even tho I have the luck to have a good amount of time to dedicate to 
CEDET, I can understand that a project like this cannot compete with 
other tools in
the industry if I'm the only one improving it, so a community effort 
will be necessary if the project want to succeed in the future.

I started with changing the CEDET webpage to the HTML5 standard, but 
with the same (awesome) aesthetic, thanks to Eric, I have the source code so
I can replicate it easily, this is the repository 
https://gitlab.com/sasanidas/cedet-webpage, and this is the webpage 
online https://sasanidas.gitlab.io/cedet-webpage/ .

If the GNU Emacs maintainers approve my position, my intention is to 
make a branch with a lot of new changes, even tho I think the send patch 
workflow is valid,
for a package like CEDET that needs a lot of changes, this can really 
slow down the process, so I will also try that.

Let me know what do you guys think.

Regards,

Fermin
