I am the maintainer of vimpulse.  Here are the installation instructions from the top of the file, in case they will help you:

;; Copy vimpulse.el to somewhere in your load-path (e.g. your
;; site-lisp directory), then add these three Lisp statements to the
;; .emacs file in your home directory:
;;
;(setq viper-mode t)
;(require 'viper)
;(require 'vimpulse)
;;
;; Leave out the initial semicolons.  You should not change the order
;; of the statements.  The first two lines enable viper; the third
;; enables vimpulse.
;;
;; If you will be using C-r (the redo key) and you use GNU Emacs, also
;; visit http://www.wonderworks.com/download/redo.el and save and
;; install redo.el.  XEmacs and Aquamacs come with redo.el included.
;;
;; If you want block visual mode (i.e. rectangle selection),
;; remove the leading semicolons from the lines under the
;; "Block Visual Mode keys" section in this file.  Also download and
;; install http://www.emacswiki.org/elisp/download/rect-mark.el
;; in your load-path and add the Lisp expression (require 'rect-mark)
;; to your .emacs file.

I am curious:  -How did you come across vimpulse?

- Did you notice those instructions?   Were there any words or terms that were unclear?

- How could I make vimpulse easier to install?

- Do you have any other feedback on vimpulse, other than that it needs an instruction manual ?

Regards,
Jason

This is my first time hearing about vimpulse.  I'm not a big emacs fan, but occassionaly I tinker around with Common Lisp and Slime is the way to go there.  Great stuff.
