Initial commit

Well, not really.  If you would like the old version history, please get
in touch with me at code@seanallred.com.  It's a wreck though and
contains inconsistent information.

+#+Title: Stack-Mode for Emacs
+#+Author: Sean Allred
+#+Date: [2014-10-30 Thu]
+
+=stack-mode= hopes to be a fully-featured Stack Exchange mode for
+Emacs 24+ using version 2.2 (and subsequent versions as available) of
+the Stack Exchange API.
+
+This README will eventually hold a high-level feature list and details
+on installation and configuration.
+* Contributing
+Please do, but note that the repository history is likely to be
+rebased on a single commit once v0.1 is reached.  Things at this stage
+are volatile and highly experimental, so the codebase changes quickly
+and sometimes arbitrarily.
+
+The best way to contribute right now is via discussion.  Open an issue
+describing a feature you'd like (That isn't already listed) or a
+package you think would come in handy.
+** Wishlist
+- Proper unit tests :: Nothing too in-depth -- just a start using 'the
+     right way' would be /very/ nice
+- Automatic testing system (usable with Travis CI) :: Along with
+     unit-testing, it would be best to have this done in Travis CI so
+     that pull requests can be examined before merge.
+- OAuth :: Without this, we can't write with the API.  This is
+           obviously something we want to do, but I don't understand
+           even /regular/ OAuth (web server -- web server).  If
+           someone can take care of this, I'd be forever grateful.

+** Question Viewing
+It's not terribly clear how this whould be approached, but I have in
+the past assumed using an Org-mode-like buffer (with special bindings)
+that includes the question and all answers and comments.  This is
+likely to evolve as the project better understands what it is.
+
+Whatever the format, the user will be able to archive the question for
+offline reference.
+** Question Browsing
+If point is on a question:
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+  Full title: AUCTeX, preview-latex, and Ghostscript (Emacs)
+       Asker: vermiculus (572)
+     Answers:  1 (Not Accepted)           Active: [2013-02-27 Wed 15:44]

+        Site: TeX, LaTeX, and Friends
+       Users: 400
+  Unanswered: 15 (0.003)
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+The information displays (and its format) will be customizable using
+format strings and special markers.
+** Question Asking
+** Commenting
+With a pop-up buffer similar to =twittering-mode=.
+** Not Planned
+The following features are not currently planned for this mode,
+regardless of API support.  This is mostly because I have no idea what
+I'm doing.

+Stack Exchange Mode for Emacs has no explicit use for an icon,
+although standard SVG files have been gathered in =resources/= if
+anyone would fancy a crack at it.
