There's a long term plan to switch the wiki to being hosted on Emacs/Elnode. People could help out, especially with corner cases of the rendering. The repo is: https://github.com/aidalgol/elwiki Note that we

There are lots of videos showing you how to use Emacs. Emacs Bites is about teaching you Lisp.

you're in luck! that's absolutely what I'm trying to do. I do have secondary audience, people who want to learn Lisp, not necessarily elisp. Emacs is the best way to do that imo. I expect those people to have at least looked

I have been using Emacs for a long time and I can't remember the last time it got the wrong key. If you're using a graphical Emacs (for OSX or X or Windows) I think it hardly ever happens? Doesn't happen to me and I use all 3

And again thanks. Fixed. The reason for this breakage is that I had to change the name after it was launched (in a hurry).

thanks! I've fixed that. Good catch.

I'm clearly doing a bad UX job with this somehow. There are a collection of little videos wrapped by web pages documenting what is in the video. Eventually they will add up to something substantial (hopefully) and comprehensive (hopefu

Thanks jlf! You guys at #emacs have helped this happen. An awesome community.

Yes. We're veterans of previous video startups. This is video meeting done right. It's not a big part of the product but it is important coz it means you don't need skype or hangout or whatever in addition to this.

If you ping me on twitter I'll make sure you're prioritized. We are obviously wanted teams to try this to tell us what is good and what isn't. So if you're a team we want you basically.

I'm not going to advertize it that much (because I don't want to support people that way yet) but all the code behind teamchat.net is freely available on github.

That should be fixed.

I'm kinda surprised that people haven't picked up on that bit and asked questions. You'd have thought hackers would be interested in that bit :-)

That's basically it. We've worked on this for quite a while and I reckon we could just keep going... This way we can gauge interest and prioritize teams who sign up. And yes. I will publish results later in the week.

it's simple to build a simple one... but the more polished takes more time. Why not just offload that work to someone else? That's our view anyway. We've chatted to some potential clients and other companies running their operations this wa

will do. I'll also try and make sure you get prioritized for go live.

I'll try and prioritize your teams access. Send us an email or hit me up directly on twitter: http://twitter.com/nicferrier

by nic-ferrier 14y ago
I know... I know. I prefer that too. The trouble is this is for teams, you kinda have to have a team. We wanted to gauge interest so we've done it this way. If we can we'll go live for collections of people (if there are 2 or 3 people from

It's all emacslisp. Including the webserver (it's elnode). So there is an irc bouncer written in elisp tightly integrated with the elnode webapp. The bouncer uses a modified rcirc (built into emacs) to connect to the irc servers. The robot
