== On TeXmacs bridges with the outside world == There is a huge work to do to promote TeXmacs in environments where it already is a winner. I personally find that TeXmacs is one of the most consistently underpromoted, less-than-ideally known free software projects. In other words, it deserves much more attention than it gets.
* tune the filters so that you can use it to get a printable version of wikipedia's pages, either by visiting yourself the pages with TM or by getting wikipedia to run the page through TeXmacs. This could also lead to the use of TM inside wikipedia as the compiler for math, with the added benefit of MathML output. Such a service would draw a lot of attention towards TeXmacs. * sell TeXmacs as the way to prepare math for the web. Also, chat with mathematics while keeping LaTeX \macros functional is a killer functionality for scientists. * promote it as an structured and text editor for non-math savvy publics. For this, it would be advisable to include a screenshot of pure text in the welcome page, so that people sees that it can be used as a very efficient multi-output editor. IF programmers would use it for technical documentation, issues such as the toolkit and bugs would receive more attention from an educated public. * polish interconversion with Openoffice's OpenDocument format, in the beginning by assuring it via intermediate HTML would make TeXmacs usable for people who have to work in office environments but want to be productive (mouse-based edition as in OOo is painful, and the nesting concept of TeXmacs is really powerful). * get funding to make the Windows version comparable to the unix one. It has also been many times argued that using one of the major toolkits would help get more attention. Bringing more people to TeXmacs would in the medium term help us have more workforce in bug hunting, scheme programming and stylesheets and even maybe GUI rewriting. I will personally try to recommit some time to TeXmacs starting 3 or 4 months from now. Á. On 6/4/06, Joris van der Hoeven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

The user assumed to say what is the translation to what. The problem of automatically finding what is a translation of what is only relevant for the already existing documentation. _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev
