   When will the new Latex 3 come out ? Is it worth waiting

Well, you probably know the standard answer to this kind of question:
always two years from now :-)

Seriously: the project is pretty well within schedule, and two years
from now till release is our estimate. But this relies heavily on the
support we will be getting in the future. I don't necessarily mean
financial support, although this is an important issue as well. We
have prepared a list of supplimentary tasks that need to be done for
the completion of the project. These tasks are of different kinds,
from programming to finding out what people use and need in certain
areas and writing a report about it.

The organisation for this is being set up at the moment; anyone
interested should contact Michael Downes <MJD@MATH.AMS.COM>. (Perhaps
not immediately; remember that the TUG annual meeting takes place in
these days.)
