mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Massimiliano Gubinelli <address@hidden>]

Also, the stackexchange proposal, which I think is a step towards more visibility, is not showing much activity. I feel there are many people on this list which didn’t really contributed to it. While I can understand one’s opinion about its usefulness, I also think that we should try to support possible initiative like that as a community.

We still need people to cast votes for useful questions and more interested people. Please give some minutes of your time to this task. It will show that there is a stable and active community behind the program and could help a big deal to make people interested in at least trying it.

We have already hosted the source code on Github.

The main source code repo closes the issues deliberately. And the issues for the subprojects are open.

Pull requests on any repos are welcomed. But we encourage people to report bugs via https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/texmacs/ .

Maybe have a Facebook page or a Twitter account?

Also, why not host the source code on Github? I think that would make it easier for people to contribute, track issues and suggest features.

Hello,

I think the following suggestions could make TeXmacs a lot more popular:

* promote TeXmacs as a note taking tool that is useful even if you don't need to generate high quality PDFs and/or print anything out

* add a mode where word wrapping occurs at the window edge; this allows you to more easily use a narrow TeXmacs window to take notes while using another app to its side

* include a compact layout for taking notes that minimizes white space

* add a dark mode

* make it more difficult to accidentally nest environments in unexpected and hard to correct ways

* make sure copy/paste from TeXmacs to other apps just works and gives reasonable results

What do you think?

P.S. A more popular TeXmacs could mean a more stable app due to the greater number of bug reports and developers interested in fixing them.
