Hi all,

It's nice to see the movement in the list again. For work reasons I'm
away of TeXmacs at this moment (I'm using a MS Office compatible
solution for the inherited previos documents), but TeXmacs is my loved
word processor on esteroids, so its nice to see the movement in this
list again.

I like the logo without the TeXmacs Word. I think that also, the name
come with some confusion for some people (specially those with
background in TEX or Emacs).

About this regard, I remember the Tekmax name also wich has the
advantage that keeps the pronunciation but leaves away the Typographical
similarities that produce the misunderstood.

Well, I like the "<|>" logo more that the typographic ones, because
being neutral typographically doesnt have the name confusion asociated
with it.
