Emacs

Editing remote files with emacs

TRAMP stands for `Transparent Remote (file) Access, Multiple
Protocol'.

The current CVS version of GNU Emacs includes Tramp. Tramp allows you to edit your remote files as if they were on your local machine. Tramp has been around for a while now and has matured into a bug free reliable add on. Tramp is protocol transparent, that means you can edit files over ssh, ftp, etc.

Example of editing a file on your server.

ssh://username@mydomain.com:/my/remote/file.c

Managing Information with Emacs and PMWiki

One of the best ways to manage large amounts of information and knowledge is using a WIKI. This is also a great way to work in groups and allow people to freely add and update content and information without a lot of effort.

Emacs is my favorite editor, and I would like to use when ever I have to play with text :) This lil tutorial will show you how you can use the editing power of Emacs and maintain a WIKI.

Emacs does have a bunch of WIKI modes, the issue with those modes are that they are static wiki pages, I do not think a WIKI is of any use if the pages are static and users are not allowed to modify and update information on it.

Emacs and weblogging

"Mark A. Hershberger":http://www.elisp.info has moved his emacs based weblogger to non-gnu. I am currently setting up the bugtracker and other required tools, so that Mark can concentrate on the development.

We are currently looking out for people who know elsip to help out in any way possible.

You can find our project "here":https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/emacsweblogs/

Emacs and Ruby

I have just shifted back to emacs, so there should be a lot more updates coming in.
Right now it beats Textmate hands down - Updated 25th December 2006.

My Ruby Rails Emacs package.

Here is a bunch of modes to help you be more productive when you are coding Ruby. These modes have been tested on Emacs 21.3.1 MacOS X.
