TeXmacs over the network and over the web

With the current technology of mutator tags, it should be quite easy to write a plug-in for TeXmacs for doing instant messenging or live-conferencing. We are very interested in people who would like to help with this. The same techniques might be used for collaborative authoring and educational purposes.

Besides live conferencing, we are also interested by people who are willing to program better integration of TeXmacs with the web. As a first step, this would require an internal C++ plug-in based on Wget or Curl for accessing web-pages, which supports cookies, security, etc. At a second stage, these features should be exploited by the Html converters. At the last stage, one might develop more general web-based services.
