 <h3>Goal and rationale</h3>
 
-<p>The goal is to update and amplify the long-existing LaTeX(2e)
-reference manual, which has been included in free TeX distributions for
-many years.  It originated with George Greenwade, was updated for
-LaTeX 2.09 by Stephen Gilmore, and for LaTeX2e by Torsten
-Martinsen.  None of these folks can continue work on the project, so I
-(Karl Berry) decided to restart it, initiating what I very much hope
-will be a collaborative effort.

 <p>The goal is not to replace the major books about LaTeX; that would
 not be realistic.  What is feasible, I hope, is to summarize the features
 (commands, environments, options, etc.) of core LaTeX2e.  This
 information is reasonably available from the free LaTeX sources and
-documentation, but is not so easy to access from there.

 to keep it available in that form.  However, I'm more than happy to
