[emacs-humanities] Why Emacs-humanities? - Thanks for opening the list!

[Christian Tietze]

Thanks for taking the time to set up this platform!

I'm developing macOS apps by trade, but there's only so much you can program at 
once :) Onboarding less tech-savvy folks onto Emacs as an alternative for 
staples in the app market for writers is horrible. I'd like to help with that 
over the course of the next years.

I'm assembling information about common tasks and packages to make writing 
easier, and took note about NANO Emacs[1]'s approach to make the environment 
more appealing, and create an interactive org-mode based dashboard, etc. My 
personal goal would be to assemble configurations as a "Starter Pack" that 
makes sense for writer friends and academics, allowing them to peel away the 
layers of configuration extras that deviate from Emacs defaults eventually.

Well, here's to 2021, and learning and writing in Emacs :)

Cheers,
Christian
