I don't know who maintains the latex-project.org web site, but I'm
guessing they are on this list ...
On http://www.latex-project.org/ftp.html, under the "LaTeX as part of a
TeX distribution" section, some updates would be highly desirable:
1) I'm uncomfortable with (even though I think I wrote it originally :):
TeX Live is by common consensus the single easiest way
I request:
TeX Live is an easy way
2) Under "Unix, Linux":
* teTeX is a complete TeX distribution for UNIX compatible
systems, maintained by Thomas Esser.
But teTeX is no longer maintained. I suggest replacing this item with
"Please see TeX Live above."
3) Under "MacOS X":
* MacTeX is a new TeX distribution for MacOS X, based on gwTeX by
Gerben Wierda and XeTeX. There's a concise gwTeX installation
guide by Will Robertson.
Most of this has changed (not new, not based on gwTeX, Will's page is no
longer active). New text:
* MacTeX is a TeX distribution for MacOS X; it is TeX Live with
the addition of a native Mac installer and some Mac-specific programs.
4) Under "Windows":
* XEmTeX is an integrated TeX distribution for 32-bit Windows systems
maintained by Fabrice Popineau.
The link for XEmTeX leads nowhere useful. As far as I know Fabrice
has never made a production release, unfortunately, so I suggest
simply deleting this item.
Thanks,
Karl
