"Ever since I started on this "Wicked Cool Emacs" project with No Starch Press, I've run into all sorts of amazing geeks who have been working on something similar. [...] I would love to work on this book with other people. I think that it would become an even better book than I could write by myself, just as Emacs is better because all these people have worked on it.

"...Here are 6 general emacs tips i felt that's the most important in emacs productivity, among all other emacs tips and tricks of my decade-long experience. If you use emacs only occasionally, these tips may not be very meaningful because they are general and does not solve any specific problems.

"I've been reading lots of blogs and opinions about emacs the last few days. What strikes me is all of these people who brag about how large their .emacs files have become. So let me make this very clear: If your .emacs file is longer than a page YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG. Why?

"One nice feature of Emacs, that is as old as Emacs itself, are buffers. Most Emacs users like them because you can have multiple buffers open at once and work on many things at once. And for the record, I'm actually a big fan of the Emacs buffer menu..."

"I recently came across the GNU page: A guided tour of Emacs.It is a gem of an introduction to Emacs.Unlike the help distributed with Emacs (tutorial, FAQ, *info* pages), this tour does a good job illustrating the wide variety of Emacs capabilities, and I think it is much more motivating for a newbie than anything else I've seen." via http://trey-jackson.blogspot.com/2008/06/guided-tour-of-emacs.h
