There are lots of videos showing you how to use Emacs. Emacs Bites is about teaching you Lisp.

you're in luck! that's absolutely what I'm trying to do.

I do have secondary audience, people who want to learn Lisp, not necessarily elisp. Emacs is the best way to do that imo.

I expect those people to have at least looked a bit at Emacs before they start though.

I have been using Emacs for a long time and I can't remember the last time it got the wrong key.

If you're using a graphical Emacs (for OSX or X or Windows) I think it hardly ever happens? Doesn't happen to me and I use all 3 of those.

And again thanks. Fixed. The reason for this breakage is that I had to change the name after it was launched (in a hurry).

thanks! I've fixed that. Good catch.

I'm clearly doing a bad UX job with this somehow. There are a collection of little videos wrapped by web pages documenting what is in the video. Eventually they will add up to something substantial (hopefully) and comprehensive (hopefully).

I toyed with the idea of using something that would show you the keys... but those things are never totally reliable and always a bit of added complexity. So I decided instead to offer the web page approach.

I admit, I'm probably not doing a great job for complete Emacs newbies right now. I am unclear if I have to, there are a lot of starting Emacs screencasts around. This one is about starting with EmacsLisp, not really Emacs.

Having said that... if that's what people want I may go back and alter the structure of the thing so that total newbies could join in.

It would probably only mean having fewer expectations in the crash course.

so come back.

yeah. there are loads of alternative video chat apps. that's not the point of teamchat.

Thanks jlf!

You guys at #emacs have helped this happen. An awesome community.
