** Other process information
+*** Non-ASCII characters in Emacs files
+
+If you introduce non-ASCII characters into Emacs source files, it is a
+good idea to add a 'coding' cookie to the file to state its encoding.
+Please use the UTF-8 encoding unless it cannot do the job for some
+good reason. As of Emacs 24.4, it is no longer necessary to have
+explicit 'coding' cookies in *.el files if they are encoded in UTF-8,
+but other files need them even if encoded in UTF-8. And even for *.el
+files, having an explicit encoding specification facilitates correct
+display of non-ASCII characters when the file is visited in older
+Emacs versions.
+
+*** Useful files in the admin/ directory

admin/notes/newfile, see admin/notes/repo.
