And thanks to David for all the work he did: better converters from
and to Html, full Unicode tables (to be exploited more and more),
documentation about the TeXmacs primitives and dozens (how many?)
of patches with all kinds of improvements. And last, but not least:
David has always been very helpful to other users and a good
administrator for many tasks on Savannah.

David: I wish you a lot of chance finding a nice job, hopefully in
the area of free software. When time will permit you, I look forward
to hearing again from you.

All the best for the future, Joris
