At the risk of increasing the FAQ too much I would like to make the
following proposal.  In my opinion one of the strong points of TeX,
LaTeX, emTeX, etc is its compatibility with other pieces of software
which are also meant to be portable to many, many systems.  Currently
I use only a couple of these, and I would like to know what else is
out there.  For example, I really have no idea what WEB is, although
it is mentioned in the FAQ.  However, the FAQ just tells me how to
get it, or something like it, for different systems.  Why would I
want to?  What does it do?  Sometimes this is done; for example,
there is a nice, succinct description of why I probably do not
want to touch METAfont, but also why I might.  Could we add a little
section about what each of these things do, so that one can
determine what discussions are worth following?

Your $0.02 are, of course, welcome.
