It's good to know that there are plans to improve this.

I simply redefined the itemize-dot macro with a different character.

I attached my last version of my seminar style file. I redefined 'strong' and 
'em'. Notice that you'll get a different result if you apply strong and then 
em, or apply em and then strong.

To know the sintax of macros, etc the best is reading the help files, 
especially the reference guide. As well it's interesting to give a look to 
files in /usr/share/TeXmacs/package. For instance, I learnt how to redefine 
the macro itemize-dot reading the file std-list.ts 
in /usr/share/TeXmacs/package/standard.

It is easy to do searches in the documentation and source code but there is 
no 
way to search the package. I'd suggest to include a Help -> Search -> 
Packages... 

I hope that this information would be helpful. It's easier that it seems to 
write your own style files. There are no excuse ;-) to not participate in the 
Contest <http://www.udl.es/usuaris/w3511782/texmacs-contest.html>.
