Hi all,

I am the currently-inactive maintainer of Vimpulse[1], which builds on
top of viper-mode to emulate Vim features too, not just vi features.

What needs to be done so Vimpulse can get included as part of Emacs?

I know two things:

1.  fix Vimpulse's most serious bugs:  it is currently buggy

2.  do copyright assignment:  it hasn't been done yet, and Donald
Robertson, GNU copyright clerk, said it must wait until you accept
vimpulse into Emacs.  (The two main authors have agreed that they will
assign copyright when needed.)

I wonder:  What else?

Cheers,
Jason Spiro
