   Too few programmers working on too many new areas
   Spread too thin for doing more 'less ciritcal' work
   Cant mentor/tutor new wannabie devs
   The wannabies feel unwelcome and leave depleting the already depleted
   population of devs

I'd love to see emacsmovies branch out to do internals walkthroughs.
To riff off the most recent production, i imagine episodes:
 - src/buffer.[hc], concentrating on ‘struct buffer’
 -        likewise, for everything else
 - changes to src/buffer.[hc] over the years (repo archeology)
 - demo of CEDET (et al) handling of src/buffer.[hc] (as part of src/*)
 - survey of external gap-buffer implementations in various languages
 - tie in of these episodes to "user level experience" (seminal) episode

The last few are important for newbie hackers who do not yet know
they are newbie hackers.  :-D

[FWIW, the dream for such a series (in text, in Emacs) was the impetus for
<http://www.gnuvola.org/software/personal-elisp/dist/lisp/low-stress/adhoc.el>.]

Hey emacsmovies hacker (if you are reading this): What do you say?
