I understand this but I was more thinking about unresolved issues,  
discussions, preliminary recipes, etc... all things that needs
a collaborative environment. Moreover since one of the aim is also to  
help gain visibility to the developing efforts (from the outside  
world) I think that a standard HTML based
wiki is a better tool than static texmacs pages. Once the discussion  
is settled down we can write reference documentation directly in  
texmacs.

For example the discussion about the best way to implement the runloop  
will not make a lot of sense in the TeXmacs docs. Unless you have  
already implemented a TeXmacs-based wiki.....

What about setting up a trac? (could texmacs.org host the server?)
