This is a Literate Programming fork of the original Emacs Starter Kit.

This should provide a saner set of defaults than you get normally with Emacs. It’s intended for beginners, but provides a good elisp initialization structure for all levels of users.

The main advantages of this Emacs Starter Kit are

• better default settings
• easy loading of many useful libraries and configurations
• “literate” customization embedded in Org-mode files
• an organizational directory structure
• git provides for version control, backup, and sharing
• easy installation with no need to compile external packages

The latest version is at http://github.com/eschulte/emacs24-starter-kit/

For more information including use and installation instructions see http://eschulte.github.com/emacs24-starter-kit/

I added or modified some starter-kit-modes to fit my needs:

• starter-kit-xquery
• starter-kit-scala
• starter-kit-coffeescript
• starter-kit-maxframe
• starter-kit-markdown
• starter-kit-golden-ratio

In osx, please install markdown

brew install markdown
