I think that they fit in with the other things in that task. > > What about renaming typesetting to "document production"? I agree that typesetting is too specific for what it currently contains. As I see it, at the moment the task currently contains packages useful for writing a scientific paper / poster and perhaps a talk. These can be roughly broken down into: Bibliography management Editors suitable for writing papers (eg support for Latex) Wordprocessor DTP (eg for posters ) Tools for producing figures - vector drawing, but also latex tools - metapost for example, and specialist packages for drawing feynman diagrams[1]. Packages for presentations/slideshows (latex and openoffice). Along with supporting packages to view documents (xpdf, gv). I think that packages to annotate pdfs, as well as packages to create a bibliography from a pdf would fit together with these. Chris [1] Though arguably this ought to be in physics (or perhaps just particle physics - were that task to be created). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-science-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
