#+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.
* Planned Features
** Network Exploration

StackOverflow stackoverflow
StackApps stackapps

#+END_EXAMPLE
** 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]
Tags: emacs auctex preview ghostscript
Bounty: 50
#+END_EXAMPLE
Else:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
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.

** Icon
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.
