<p>The catalogue began life in 1986! It was originially maintained as
a BibTeX database, and started generating HTML in 1992. It migrated to
XML using XSL style sheets to generate the various formatted versions
of the catalogue in 1997. The source migrated to the open source
server <a href="http://sarovar.org/projects/texcatalogue/">Sarovar</a>
in 2004, together with a rewrite of all the processing code from XSL
to Python, with much relief. The DTD for the Catalogue is in <A
HREF="catalogue.dtd">catalogue.dtd</A> or generically at <A
HREF="http://texcatalogue.sarovar.org/catalogue.dtd">Sarovar</A>.
<P>The catalogue is regularly updated and others are welcome to join
the team maintaining the catalogue by creating an account on <a
href="http://sarovar.org">Sarovar</a>. There are bound to be errors in
the catalogue. If you come across any, or have comments,
enhancements, and additions, please send them to me at <img
src="gwtw.png" align="center">.
<p>The catalogue has evolved over quite a few years. Thanks to many
who have contributed entries and ideas. In particular, <a
href="http://www.cs.ruu.nl/~piet">Piet van Oostrum</a> supplied quite
a few one line descriptions and Sebastian Rahtz has added many entries
for the <A HREF="http://www.tug.org/texlive">TUG TeX Live CDROM</A>.
Robin Fairbains and Barbara Beeton have provided various updates and
suggestions. Stanislaw Wawrykiewicz maintains many of the Polish
entries from GUST. Randy Kobes contributed code and ideas for the
alphabetic and hierachical editions and maintains and runs the
extremely useful CGI script used to <A
HREF="http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/scripts/CTAN/">locate a nearby CTAN
node</A>. Jim Hefferon implemented and maintains the Catalogue <A
HREF="http://tug.ctan.org/find.html">search</A> facility. Joao Palhoto Matos
made the icons look great.
<P>Juergen Fenn maintains the topical index to the cataogue and Martin
Bayer</a> has provided a template for the improved look and feel of
the catalogue.
<P> Other sources of information about TeX and LaTeX can be obtained
from the <A HREF="http://www.tug.org/">TeX Users Group</A>.
