After you obtain the info you need, consider sharing it by posting it to Emacs
Wiki:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SiteMap.

That might help other vi users who try Emacs. Type `vi' into the wiki search
field to find an appropriate page to edit, or start a new page if none is
appropriate (and link appropriate existing pages to it). It's very easy to edit
the wiki.

See also the Emacs manual (`C-h r'), node Emulation (`g Emulation'). My
impression is that many former `vi' users of Emacs use Viper - see the Viper
manual (`C-h i', then choose VIPER).
