+\title{\TeX\ Live 4 --- enchancement volunteers needed}
+\author{Sebastian Rahtz\\\texttt{s.rahtz@elsevier.co.uk}}
+\begin{Article}
+The stocks of the \TeX\ Live 3 CD-ROM, released in April, are nearly 
+exhausted, and the time has arrived already to consider \TeX\ Live 4.
+This is a public appeal for anyone
+interested in working on the project to come forward.
+
+\TeX\ Live 4 needs to improve over \TeX\ Live 3 in the following ways,
+and I need people to help me in all these ways:
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Update basic \TeX\ family programs (notably, pdf\TeX\ has had
+  important changes, but there are many small fixes to look at);
+\item Update font and macro packages --- at least 100
+  new releases to CTAN in the last 4 months!
+\item Install new releases of fp\TeX\ (was web2c-win32), CMacTeX, OzTeX,
+  emTeX and MikTeX distributions;
+\item Write better install and maintenance programs, especially for
+  Windows;
+\item Write better documentation;
+\item Refine and document the package cataloguing;
+\item Do something (what?) to help Mac and VMS users;
+\item Check the support tree for consistency and completeness.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+So can you do, and do you have time for, any of the following?
+\begin{itemize}
+\item compile software on weird Unix systems?
+\item write install and configuration programs for Windows 9X/NT?
+\item classify and describe macro or font packages to the standards of
+  Graham Williams' Catalogue?
+\item write new-user documentation?
+\item add new packages from CTAN (especially fonts)? In particular, can you
+ produce credible and maintainable TDS trees for users working in the
+ following areas:
+  \begin{itemize}
+  \item Greek typesetting (modern and ancient)
+  \item Cyrillic typesetting
+  \item Indian languages
+  \end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+Many kind people helped me produce and check \TeX\ Live 3, but there is
+always room for extra hands. Of course, I do not guarentee much reward, other
+then the satisfaction of a job well done\ldots
+
+It goes without saying that a fast Internet connection, constant
+access to e-mail, and a belief in the principles of the \TeX\
+Directory Structure, are vital qualifications!
