... I think Salman finds the program useful. He justs want to use it and
he is probably afraid of us discussing not so important issues like
garbage collection and relative schemes performances.

And somebody willing to dig into TeXmacs internal typesetting has a good
karma in my humble optinion. :)


Maybe, to facilitate the project, it would be useful to define a
prioritized todo list, from short term to more longer term
things. Compared to the current plan document[1] it would provide an
orthogonal point of view, considering programming issues, facility to
implement things (the easier the sooner).

For example, I would propose:

 1. fix memory leaks;

 2. having a better user feedback;

 3. investigate startup time to diagnosticate how this startup time
    could be improved;

 4. ...

 n. garbage collection;

   ...

 n^n: reimplementing texmacs in OCaml;

   ...

 n^n^n: reimplementing texmacs in Mathemagix. ;)


This todo list would regularly evolved according to TeXmacs users and
developers interest.
