Ok. I can help uploading to the wiki page some of the translated
documentation on TeXmacs. I have a question about doc, wich licence
covers the documentation (Introduction, Gettin Started, etc.) present on
TeXmacs: GPL, FDL, OpenContent, OpenResources Magazine, none of them?

Thanks, I will take a look too. I have some problems also trying to
suscribe to a alqua mailing list :-(

Well I didnt use the Chapter Style for chapters in my thesis because the
local rules for documentation on Thesis dont Include the Word Chapter
<Number>, just the number of the Chapter and the title so I think that
the section style was more adecuated, but if I can quit the word
"Chapter" before the number I think that Chapter will be better. By the
way, some sections/chapters are numbered, but some other dont (like
Introduction or Bibliography) can I mix both styles?

From border of paper.

Well, the local rules for documentation say caps but in the examples all
the caps have the same size, so I think that they real caps. The font
size is the same that in the document, just they are always caps.

Well, with the 0.16 version of TeXmacs I selected all and then I made
"Format -> Margins -> First identation" and then I seput to zero. But
now I have a big blue square wich covers the all document (because I
define it selecting all before make the identation change). I will see
the package file instead, but how can I quit the Big blue square with
out loosing  the identation changes?
