Yes, but my point is that different people try to use this list in order
to exhibit their personal frustrations. That is *not* the purpose of
this list, so I reiterate my request to be polite in the first place.

Also, I will no longer reply to such messages. So: if you want to discuss
with me and take into account your considerations in a positive way,
then first be polite, and then I will try to reply as well as possible.

I sometimes do that when I have time, but I cannot completely planify
these things. Maintaining a roadmap has turned out to be quite
hopeless for me; I cannot even do it for myself. Maintaining
a todo list could be done, but assigning priorities is a hard task.

In any case, if you, as a volunteer, propose a roadmap for changes you
want to make, then I am willing to discuss how that can be fit into
the general picture. If you want to maintain the page

        http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/about/plans.en.html

then you are welcome too.
