Unfortunately, we cannot move anything from core to ELPA until we have
a way of producing a release tarball with ELPA packages.

Thank you for your efforts in maintaining this package.  I don't
actually use it myself, so I only have a few observations on the
maintenance aspects below.

That makes sense to me.  I'm copying in Stefan Monnier, who is in charge
of GNU ELPA, in case he has anything to add.

If we could get those changes merged into your version, perhaps we could
just replace the one in Emacs with yours?

It would of course be excellent if you could eventually find the time to
do that, and a priori it sounds like much less works than going the
other way around.

I currently don't, unfortunately.  I suppose we shall have to wait and
see if there is someone interested.

Thanks again for getting back to us about this.

I=E2=80=99ve also discussed with several of the emacs devels over the =

The above email bounced, so I have now copied in the email address used

I note that on the GitHub page, there has since been added a note:

    Note: IDLWAVE is currently not maintained. In current form it
    supports IDL v8.6, and is still in daily use by some users.

    If you are interested in taking over IDLWAVE maintenance, please
    post an issue. See the DEVELOP file for information on the file
    structure layout.

I'm not sure what this means for the idlwave we ship with Emacs.

JD Smith, do you mind if someone else tries to on merge your external
development efforts into Emacs itself?

X-Debbugs-CC: JD Smith <jdsmith@HIDDEN>

Hi,

I don't use it myself, but I noticed that there is ongoing development
of idlwave.el here:

    https://github.com/jdtsmith/idlwave

As far as I can tell from the git log, the last change to idlwave by
JD Smith was on Fri Apr 27 19:34:22 2007 +0000.

Would it be possible to merge this effort into the version distributed
with GNU Emacs itself?  That way more users could benefit from the
improvements.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
