Hi.

It's cool, but why this future should be available only for lisp programmers?

I far as I understand, the file referenced by *motd-pathname* should be accessible from the local machine. If so, it may be more flexible to implement ChangeLog parser in emacs lisp and turn it into a separate tool, that may be used by any emacs user, not necessary by lisp developer.

but what if emacs is on one machine and the lisp is on another? you want the lisp's motd, not the local one right?

though you're right, it'd be a lot easier to do in emacs (especially considering the existence of change-log-mode)
