A bit a digression but the community around #emacs on freenode and emacswiki.org was really wonderful when I was active on it in the early 2000s. Lots of people who were as helpful as they were knowledgeable. ALmost none of the internet trolling and bile that plagues many modern fora and real friendships formed from meeting people online. It's a great throwback to see a page from that site on HN.
