It was originially maintained as +a BibTeX database, and started generating HTML in 1992. It migrated to +XML using XSL style sheets to generate the various formatted versions +of the catalogue in 1997. The source migrated to the open source +server <a href="http://sarovar.org/projects/texcatalogue/">Sarovar</a> +in 2004, together with a rewrite of all the processing code from XSL +to Python, with much relief. The DTD for the Catalogue is in <A +HREF="catalogue.dtd">catalogue.dtd</A> or generically at <A +HREF="http://texcatalogue.sarovar.org/catalogue.dtd">Sarovar</A>. + +<P>The catalogue is regularly updated and others are welcome to join +the team maintaining the catalogue by creating an account on <a +href="http://sarovar.org">Sarovar</a>. There are bound to be errors in +the catalogue. If you come across any, or have comments, +enhancements, and additions, please send them to me at <img +src="gwtw.png" align="center">. + +<p>The catalogue has evolved over quite a few years. Thanks to many +who have contributed entries and ideas. In particular, <a +href="http://www.cs.ruu.nl/~piet">Piet van Oostrum</a> supplied quite +a few one line descriptions and Sebastian Rahtz has added many entries +for the <A HREF="http://www.tug.org/texlive">TUG TeX Live CDROM</A>. +Robin Fairbains and Barbara Beeton have provided various updates and +suggestions. Stanislaw Wawrykiewicz maintains many of the Polish +entries from GUST. Randy Kobes contributed code and ideas for the +alphabetic and hierachical editions and maintains and runs the +extremely useful CGI script used to <A +HREF="http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/scripts/CTAN/">locate a nearby CTAN +node</A>. Jim Hefferon implemented and maintains the Catalogue <A +HREF="http://tug.ctan.org/find.html">search</A> facility. Joao Palhoto Matos +made the icons look great. + + +<P>Juergen Fenn maintains the topical index to the catalogue and Martin +Bayer</a> has provided a template for the improved look and feel of +the catalogue. + +<P> Other sources of information about TeX and LaTeX can be obtained +from the <A HREF="http://www.tug.org/">TeX Users Group</A>. + +<p> + +The Catalogue is Copyright © 1986-2005 by Graham Williams, but is +made available under the <a href="licenses.lppl.html">LaTeX Project +Public License (lppl)</a> License, allowing you to freely distribute it. + +<p> + + <hr> + <center><small>Copyright © 1986-2005 + <a href="http://www.togaware.com"><img src="./gwtw.png" align="center" border=0 + ></a>. + This page was generated 2005-08-02 10:56:23.</small> + </center> + <hr> + + <hr> +</body> +</html> |
