mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

["Jack Zhang" <address@hidden>]

Dan

Could you allow me to add something before I finish this thread?

Only reliable and easy user interface of all application software can make
you popular. Then big population will help you get the commercial donation. 

Due to academic background of this kind application, you'd better chasing
the donation from big software company such as like Microsoft and Sun.

I don't think it is a good idea to ask the donation directly from any
individual user like us. Actually, we join in to use your product enlarging
your user population.

That is what I thought of your business developing mode.

Cheers

Jack

Subject: Re: Re : Re: [TeXmacs] installation problem of win texmacs

I highly suggest that you realize this is a volunteer project.  I 
personally have many other things on the go that pay my bills that I 
must take care of before I can devote any time to TeXmacs.  Perhaps we 
could devote more time to this project if more people who use the 
software and obtain support from these mailing lists decided to 
donate.........I have seen some generous donations from a couple 
sponsors...but no support at all from the average user of this program.  
Correct me if I am wrong Joris......
