+\title{The \LaTeX3 Project Fund}

+\begin{article}
+
+The \LaTeX3 project team is a small group of volunteers whose aim is
+to produce a major new document processing system based on the
+principles pioneered by Leslie Lamport in the current \LaTeX.
+It will remain in the public domain and it will be fully documented at
+all levels.
+
+A report of the activities of the \LaTeX3 project team during 1993
+will appear (or has recently appeared) in \TeX{} and TUG News.
+The major developments during the year have been directed at the
+release of \LaTeXe{}. This is the new standard version of \LaTeX{}
+which consolidates \LaTeX~2.09 (the current version), incorporating an
+enhanced version of the new font selection scheme; it is thus
+intermediate between \LaTeX~2.09 and \LaTeX3.
+
+Pubic domain software is not free software. Although no money goes
+towards salaries there are many necessities which do need financing:
+examples are new or enhanced computing equipment and travel to team meetings
+(the volunteers come from many different countries so getting together
+occasionally is a non-trivial exercise).
+
+This is why we are continuing our annual appeal to you for
+contributions to the fund. Any sum will be much appreciated; the
+amount need not be large, the pounds (or ECUs or dollars) quickly add up
+to very useful amounts. Contributions of suitable equipment will also
+be of great value.
+
+Many thanks to all of you who have contributed in the past and thanks
+in advance for your generosity this year.
