TeX Users Group (TUG) home page
The TeX Users Group (TUG) was founded in 1980 to provide an organization for people who are interested in typography and font design, and/or are users of the TeX typesetting system invented by Donald Knuth . TUG is a not-for-profit organization by, for, and of its members , also representing the interests of TeX users worldwide. It is almost entirely member-supported, so if you use any TeX-related programs (TeX, LaTeX , ConTeXt , Metafont , MetaPost , Texinfo , et al. ), please consider joining TUG (or any other TeX user group ). TUG membership benefits include our journal TUGboat (available both in print and online), as well as the TeX software collection ( TeX Live , proTeXt , MacTeX , etc. ). TUG also runs an annual TeX conference . (See links at left for more TUG activities.)
LaTeX Community
Development of LaTeX3 has attracted interest from other TeX programmers for a while. One of the big barriers to new entrants is that programming LaTeX3 is distinct from programming LaTeX2e or plain TeX. So what is needed is a ‘Programming LaTeX3’ guide.AZ: Jim Hefferon's web views of the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network
CTAN has a set of mirrors , sites around the world that copy their holdings and then offer them to nearby TeX users. For instance, you may notice that clicking on links like " http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib " redirects you to mirror near to you. So a simple way to help out is to make your links have this form. (If you could be a CTAN mirror that'd be great.)
