I worry a lot this group is bifurcating more than it is collaborating.

We have N code repositories using 4 different version control softwares,
4 GUI's, 4 programming languages, 2 websites, etc.

Getting images out of tex is a hack and always has been.  We can either
push on better tools to make them better (e.g. MathML), or keep
incrementing the number of hacks we have collecting dust.

    democratic we are praising it; consequently, the defenders of every
    kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they
    might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one
    meaning." -- George Orwell
