> ! What are the most important bugs?
> * three bugs

1. crashes very often on large documents on trivial actions such as 
selecting text
2. many tiny quirks in the language that surface when you start writing styles
3. references are not marked as missing if the label is deleted

1. become rock-solid and generate 100% reproducible results on different 
systems
2. possibility to automatize the build process
3. easier introduction to writing style files and consistent language 
behavior so that people start writing extensions

> ! How to organize TeXmacs as a community
> * three points
> * one point

1. wiki for howtos
2. central repository for extensions
3. website with full documentation

> ! What kind of documentation would you like to see more?

1. full list of keyboard shortcuts
2. complete documentation of evaluation process including evaluation order 
(i.e., the core language)

Texmacs is not a bad name IMHO if aiming at the LaTeX user base. The website 
and especially the logo could definitely use a redesign.

Working "algorithm" package & styles.
