I would like to investigate including verilog-mode.el in the default distribution

[Michael McNamara]

I have been maintaining verilog-mode.el at http://www.verilog-mode.el 
for more than ten years now, and would like to investigate how I could 
get the current version included as a part of the next emacs 
distribution.  Dan Nicolaescu <address@hidden> suggested that this is 
a good time to propose this as you are beginning a new development round.

Please let me know if this is a good time, and if so what steps I need 
to take.

To learn more about the emacs mode, you can visit the website 
http://www.verilog.com.  I and Wilson Snyder are the developers of the 
mode, and we would be happy to sign (or re-sign) copyright assignment 
paperwork.

Note further that while the Verilog language is mature (originally 
developed in 1987) it is right now in an active re-development phase ( 
it is going through a process much like C becoming C++ ), so we will 
have further updates as we introduce support for the new syntax.  Hence 
we would like to have some mechanism for submitting updates of the mode 
as we develop them.  We will continue publishing these on sites like 
www.verilog.com as per our usual procedure; but would also like to 
update your distribution as well.
