! What are the most important bugs?
* three bugs
* one bug

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

! What would be best for TeXmacs to become adopted?
* three points
* one point

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?
* three points
* one point

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

! How should TeXmacs be publicized
* Name change (or not): three suggestions and one suggestion
* New website, new general graphical design (logo?).

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.

! What do you think you could contribute?
* three points
* one point

Working "algorithm" package & styles.
