Re: Making Emacs popular again with a video

[Nathan Colinet]

Thank you for your reply.

I would happily help on that video (for the content) but I'm definitely 
not qualified to shoot/realise it, I don't even have a decent micro. I 
think if we want this video to have the desired effect the FSF or GNU 
(don't know who's in charge) might need to pay someone to realise it.

Regards,

Nathan
