One of the best ways to contribute to GNU TeXmacs is by using it a lot, talk about it to friends and collegues, and report bugs or other unnatural behaviour to us. Please mention the fact that you wrote articles using TeXmacs when submitting them. You can do this by putting the made-by-TeXmacs tag somewhere inside your title using Text→Title→TeXmacs notice. Besides these general (but very important) ways to contribute, you may also donate money to us, or actively help with the development of TeXmacs. You do not necessarily need to be a programmer for this, since anyone may help with the internationalization and the documentation of TeXmacs. If you have some artistic talents, then you might also design icons for us or nice pictures for upcoming TeXmacs T-shirts. 2.Programmers Programmers who do not want to go into the TeXmacs internals may consider writing plug-ins for TeXmacs. These may either be interfaces with existing extern software, or enhancements to TeXmacs, like style files or new functionality written in the Guile/Scheme extension language. More experienced programmers may also help developing the TeXmacs core system (which is written in C++ and Scheme). Our plans for the future may give you an impression about where we want to go. Of course your own ideas are welcome! TeXmacs is developed using CVS, but we prefer contributions in the form of patches. If you are interested, then you may also wish to suscribe to our developers mailing list. GNU TeXmacs is one of the projets of SPI (Software in the Public Interest). You may make donations of money to TeXmacs via this organization, by noting on your check or e-mail for wire transfers that your money should go to the TeXmacs project. You may also make donations of equipment or services or donations through vendors. See the SPI website for how to donate. We also maintain a list of donators.
