Hi again,

First one correction: http://wiki.april.org/LibreScience
already contained a page with some infos about free software for science.
Unfortunately I don't manage to edit it ;^( If someone could make
the necessary updates, then that would be great.

To the main topic of my email:

We (me and several other TeXmacs developers and users) are planning
to create an association for the promotion of free software in science.
Although we mainly needed in order to have a legal existance for
getting donations and selling services, we thought that such
an association might be interesting for other developers as well.
Therefore, we would like to broaden the scope.
I just started to put the necessary infos on the Wiki.

More and more should appear gradually today and next week.
You are free to contribute ideas, suggestions, infos, etc.

Best wishes, Joris
