I hunted through the <nop>ChangeLogs for emacs-wiki to find contributors and previous maintainers. I wanted to make sure that everyone who contributed patches was noted in the Contributors section of each header file that they had modified. This should make life much easier if I want to rip modules and functionality from emacs-wiki into Muse.

So now patch-8 is out, and it has this additional contributor information. I also split the publishing functions, highlighting functions, and multi-project support out from emacs-wiki.el into separate modules, much like Muse does it. I finally have a decent implementation of the Menu generator, so I bundled it as emacs-wiki-menu.

I had a good talk with John Wiegley about the history of emacs-wiki and Muse, and what it is holding people back from adopting Muse at the moment. It seems that the porting of Planner to Muse is more important than I had thought. I'll have to get on that soon. Documentation is also quite necessary.

I have some ideas for how I want Journal entries to be propagated from where I originally enter them. An index entry has to be generated and the entries must be copied to their respective other pages, like the front page of my website for Blog::CategoryWebpage, for example. I want to be able to be able to put like a &lt;journal entries="5" type="Webpage" order="inc"&gt; tag on my front page to automatically insert the latest five entries from CategoryWebpage into the current wiki page in increasing (chronological) order every time said page is published. Perhaps this already can be done, to some extent? I hope so.
