RE: Bits and bobs

["Bart Bunting" <bart@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Any suggestions on a name for it?

Emacspeak-config perhaps?

emacspeak-addons

emacspeak-stuff


Kind regards

Now, whenever I need to get emacs and emacspeak running on a new system, I just clone the repo into ~/.emacs.d and if I make any changes, I just make them locally and push them back up to github, later pulling them down onto other hosts as necessary.
