Remove the term "on-line" (meaning "Info") throughout, since in this day and age the common meaning is "on the web". (copying): Use @copyright in all cases. (Basic keys): Remove reference to deleted manual node "Text Characters". (File-name conventions): Use GNU as an example rather than SERVICE. default.el lives in site-lisp. Update Info directory location. (Real meaning of copyleft): GPL actions have been brought, but all settled out of court. (Guidelines for newsgroup postings): Shorten section title. Simplify comp.emacs description. (Newsgroup archives): Change Google URL. Describe Gmane. (Unsubscribing from Emacs lists): Remove discussion of "distribution points". Mention List-Unsubscribe header. (Contacting the FSF): Update email and URLs. (Basic editing): Mention F1 for help. (Installing Texinfo documentation): Refer to Texinfo website rather than ftp server. (Printing a Texinfo file): Mention texi2pdf. (Informational files for Emacs): Don't describe FTP or SERVICE, they are just stubs nowadays. (Latest version of Emacs): Explain version numbers. (Spell-checkers, Checking TeX and *roff documents): Remove sections. (Turning on syntax highlighting): No need to mention hilit19 any more. (Finding Emacs on the Internet): Refer to URLs rather than DISTRIB, FTP. (Modes for various languages): Remove section. (Major packages and programs): Remove most version and maintainer information - it's hard to keep up-to-date, and adds nothing. Similarly with direct links to mailing lists. (Spell-checkers): Rename node from Ispell. Mention Aspell and Hunspell. (Mailcrypt): Remove section - mailcrypt has not been updated in mnay years, and Emacs comes with tools for this now. (Patch): Remove section - this is a standard tool. (Using function keys under X): Remove section.
