Dear all,
We are pleased to announce the organization of a workshop on GNU TeXmacs
from February 26 until March 2, at the Falesia Hotel, Albufeira, Portugal.
People who are interested to participate are invited to send us an email.
Details about the workshop can be found at the website:
http://magix.lix.polytechnique.fr/magix/workshop/workshop.en.html
The workshop should be of interest for various groups of TeXmacs developers
and users: those who simply want to learn TeXmacs better, those who want to
participate in the development, as well as people who would like to promote
TeXmacs in education, research and elsewhere. No particular technical
skills are required in order to participate.
The morning sessions will be dedicated to presentations and discussions.
There will be a few basic presentations on TeXmacs and its current
developments, as well as more insight presentations about writing style
files, plug-ins, and Scheme extensions. We will also animate group
discussions on various aspects of the program:
* Current developments and high priority tasks: the ongoing
reorganization for making the interface more user friendly, portability
issues, how to reorganize the font system, the most annoying bugs,
better editing of multi-part documents, etc.
* Challenges for future development: better interfaces with
computational systems, integration of a spreadsheet, a mode for editing
bibliographies and more general data bases, recognition of mathematical
handwriting, etc.
* User contributions and extensions: both non technical contributions to
the documentation and internationalization efforts, and more technical
contributions to the program itself or new plug-ins.
* Applications, promotion and organization: which developments and what
kind of pedagogic material are important for adoption in education and
research, how to organize a promotion campaign, how to collaborate in more
efficient ways.
Afternoons will be devoted to programming sessions.
