mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Giovanni Piredda <address@hidden>]

Dear all,

the things I write here may be clear to all or not, I list them as I 
think it is helpful. Corrections are welcome.

In order to do the first step and go to the next stage, the proposal 
needs 40 "upvoted questions". Given that the mailing list's archives 
contains many questions that would be on-topic for the SE site too, the 
easy way to get the questions is look through the archives, pick up 
sensible questions, and post them on the 
https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/121978/texmacs page. Since 
the TeXmacs community is rather small, each contribution is very helpful 
and hopefully it takes just a little time to find the right questions in 
the archive. And for the moment no-one needs to answer them :-)

Then upvote questions which do not yet have the 10 necessary votes and 
also are sensible (it is strategic to vote only questions that have not 
yet received the 10 "upvotes" - "downvotes" as each person has only 5 
votes at their disposal!).

I looked at the further steps and if I understood well towards the end 
of the approval process it will be necessary to have the support of 
users which have a reputation of at least 200 on another SE section 
(which takes a bit of time and work to achieve). That is a bit a 
double-edged thing IMHO because it "strongly encourages" people to get 
active on SE which could be, let us say, interpreted in different ways 
(I am not going to go into the details as they are quite off-topic for 
this mailing list). I any case one could deal with this when the 
proposal has reached that stage.

Finally, if anyone has enough reputation to post a comment here

https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6189/are-questions-about-texmacs-on-topic

telling that there is a proposal for a TeXmacs SE site, that could also 
help (I am not going to be able to reach 50 reputation there!).
