LATEX3---The long-term future of LATEX
LATEX2e<#27#><#27#> is the consolidation step in a comprehensive
reimplementation of the LATEX<#28#><#28#> system. The next major release of
LATEX<#29#><#29#> will be LATEX3, which will include a radical overhaul of the
document designers' and package writers' interface to LATEX.
LATEX3 is a long-term research project but, until it is completed,
the project team are committed to the active maintenance of LATEX2e<#30#><#30#>.
Thus the experience gained from the production and maintenance of
LATEX2e<#31#><#31#> will be a major influence on the design of LATEX3.
If you would like to support the project then you are welcome to send
donations to the LATEX3 Project Fund; this has been set up to help
the research team by financing various expenses associated with this
voluntary work of maintaining the current LATEX<#32#><#32#> and developing
LATEX3.
The fund is administered by The TEX<#33#><#33#> Users Group and by various
local user groups. Information about making donations and joining
these groups is available from:
