I wonder whether you gave Donald Knuth and Leslie Lamport similar challenges, since they set the example with their books on TeX and LaTeX (I searched on the web, but I could not find trace of such challenges). I don't think that they wrote a lot of free documentation on their software by the way, contrary to what I did for TeXmacs. And of course, since you seem to like challenges, you are free to contribute to the documentation! > > > It is unfortunate to see a Directeur de Recherche of CNRS and the > > > main developer of the Gnu TeXmacs Software System, writes a guide > > > on mastering the secrets and latest versions of Gnu TeXmacs. > > > Even worse, the book is written in english, yet the terms of sale > > > are given in french.

Please remain polite and make a precise point if you want to challenge me.
