Dear all,

two brief pieces of information about TeXmacs, one in-topic and one 
off-topic.


For those we do not know what TeXmacs is: it is a system for writing that 
is at the same time structured and WYSIWYG, completely programmable through 
Scheme. More information, and the program for download, can be found at 
texmacs.org 

Said this. 

First the in-topic part of the message.

TeXmacs can be used as a front-end for Sage. As far as I know (I am a user, 
not a member of the development team, and moreover at this moment I cannot 
test by myself) the plugin for Sage works on MacOS and Linux, but does not 
support Windows; I got this information recently on the TeXmacs mailing 
list (pls see 
http://lists.texmacs.org/wws/arc/texmacs-users/2019-06/msg00102.html and 
following thread). For this reason, it would be very nice if someone would 
look over it and see if it can be made to work (please contact the 
developers for this: and in general all that I am writing here is *not* as 
a part of the developers' team but just as a user. But the guess that the 
developers will appreciate help for the improvement and maintenance of the 
Sage plugin is a very good one :-)

Independently from the development, I expect that any help on the plugin 
will be appreciated; e.g. testing the plugin and reporting to the 
developers if any thing can be improved. Again just a guess from a user but 
a very good one IMO :-) I think  that from this point of view a message on 
the TeXmacs mailing list could be a good way to pass the information.

Then the off-topic part of the message.

There is a proposal for a StackExchange TeXmacs website, supported by the 
TeXmacs developers: 

https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/121978/texmacs 

which will run out of time at the beginning of August. For passing the 
first stage, it needs about 35 people to upvote 5 questions each (it is 
better to choose them among the questions that did not yet reach ten 
upvotes), so to satisfy the criterion of 40 questions with 10 upvotes each; 
it has already satisfied the criterion of number of people joining the 
proposal so joining is not critical, but upvoting is. 

In conclusion, if you find that GNU TeXmacs merits support, and a 
StackExchange site for TeXmacs a good idea, you can consider upvoting 5 
questions. 

Ciao,

Giovanni
