[edutex] Introduction

[Claire Connelly]

Following on Boris's message,

1. (& 2.) I'm Claire Connelly.  I'm the sysadmin for the math department 
at Harvey Mudd College (in Claremont, CA).  In addition to sysadmin 
work, I have gotten myself involved with the department's senior thesis 
program, do some general LaTeX support at the college whenever asked, 
and have written thesis and Clinic report classes, along with several 
other LaTeX document classes for various things (e.g., the icmmcm class 
for the MCM competition).

3. I've been using LaTeX since 1998 or 1999, as I'd heard cool things 
about it, my partner was working on her dissertation (in LaTeX), and it 
appealed to my interest in books and typography.  But I learned much of 
what I know about LaTeX from editing the third edition of George 
Grätzer's _Math into LaTeX_, which happened after I'd responded to 
George's request for feedback on his _First Steps in LaTeX_.  In 
addition to the copyediting, I also learned a lot about typesetting, 
TeX, and indexing (never again, I hope).

4. I would love to have good resources to point people at that will help 
them to learn how to use TeX and friends, and, I dearly hope, to do so 
in a way that encourages them to write good, clear, clean code.

5. As with Boris, I can write and edit, do some software (Perl, 
especially; also Debian and RPM packaging), and provide feedback.  I 
also have access to a group of faculty and students to experiment on, 
and I might be able to get the college or the department to support 
hosting materials.

I'm looking forward to seeing how things go and helping where I can!

    Claire
