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.

The GNUstep port was made possible through the assistance of Adam
Fedor, Fred Kiefer, M. Uli Klusterer, Alexander Malmberg, Jonas
Matton, and Riccardo Mottola.  Leigh Smith maintained the SourceForge
project for a period.

Suggestions from Darcy Brockbank, Timothy Bissell, Scott Byer, David
Griffiths, Scott Hess, Eberhard Mandler, John C. Randolph, and Bradley
Taylor all helped things along at one point or another.  Axel Seibert
<seiberta@@informatik.tu-muenchen.de> and Paul J. Sanchez
<paul@@whimsy.umsl.edu> offered their time and machines to make a
binary release possible.

We would also like to thank a number of people who kept up the
constant supply of bug reports, suggested features and praise: Hardy
Mayer, Gisli Ottarsson, Anthony Heading, David Bau, Jamie Zawinski,
Martin Moncrieffe, Simson L. Garfinkel, Richard Stallman, Stephen
Anderson, Ivo Welch, Magnus Nordborg, Tom Epperly, Andreas Koenig,
Yves Arrouye, Anil Somayaji, Gregor Hoffleit; and the few hundred
other people on the mailing list from whom we didn't hear much, but
the presence of which assured us that maybe this project was actually
worth doing.
