LaTeX2e<#27#><#27#> is the consolidation step in a comprehensive
reimplementation of the LaTeX<#28#><#28#> system. The next major release of
LaTeX<#29#><#29#> will be LaTeX3, which will include a radical overhaul of the
document designers' and package writers' interface to LaTeX.
LaTeX3 is a long-term research project but, until it is completed,
the project team are committed to the active maintenance of LaTeX2e<#30#><#30#>.
Thus the experience gained from the production and maintenance of
LaTeX2e<#31#><#31#> will be a major influence on the design of LaTeX3.
A brief description of the project can be found in the document
1.
If you would like to support the project then you are welcome to send
donations to the LaTeX3 Project Fund; this has been set up to help
the research team by financing various expenses associated with this
voluntary work of maintaining the current LaTeX<#32#><#32#> and developing
LaTeX3.
The fund is administered by The TeX<#33#><#33#> Users Group and by various
local user groups. Information about making donations and joining
these groups is available from:
