You should be there on Tue, 21st when we hold our talk and to our workshop on Wed, 22nd. I never met someone working for Wiley-VCH on a EuroTeX conference before!

First of all, we need your *input*: What information should be contained in the frontmatter of a scientific article? What information should be contained in the bibliography? Then, on the workshop we want to work out a markup for authors of LaTeX files. After the workshop we will set up a sample implementation of the new class. Then, we hope that all publishers will adopt to the new class, doing their style files for their journals. So you will have to be a missionary for the new document class. It will easy, since the new class will fit publishers' needs much better than the old article class. >I wish your project great success! Thanks! --J"org Knappen
