XEmacs Home Page for Jerry James

This is the XEmacs home page for Jerry James, one of the developers of XEmacs.

I can be reached at <jerry.james@xemacs.org>, as well as <james@xemacs.org> and <jerry@xemacs.org>.

Jerry James was managing a software development project as a Ph.D. student when two of his M.S. student helpers convinced him to switch from FSF Emacs to XEmacs. He thought that Gnus looked a lot cooler in XEmacs, and soon had a web page containing small patches to XEmacs 20.3, which were picked up by the Debian Linux distribution.

He has since given up his native California to join the faculty at the University of Kansas. He is learning to like the weather in Lawrence, Kansas, where he lives with his wife and 3 children. (Ed. note: Evidently he didn't like the weather; he has moved to the Utah State University.)

His work on XEmacs mostly consists of extensions to the loadable module support in XEmacs, which was introduced by J. Kean Johnston and others.

His personal home page is at http://www.cs.usu.edu/~jerry/.

Contributions to XEmacs:

Jerry made lots of enhancements to the DSO code, including moving PostgreSQL and LDAP to modules.
