Dear Norbert and many of the members of the TeXLive group,<br>yesterday I was reading through the documentation of TeXLive, as I was trying to use my university computer in my office, which is behind a proxy, so not allowing me to update my version of TeXLive 2012. <br>
I am studying ancient Egypt, so I am not a computer specialist. I use the documentation however in order to understand whether it was possible to overcome the problem. <br>I could not understand the Wget reference given in the TeXlive documentation.. My office has Windows XP. I Googled here and there, and maybe I have understood how to do it. I have disturbed/will disturb some other lists about it. <br>
The problem I see however is that the language in the documentation is generically too specialised. I have spent 20 years of life for using the computer as an efficient machine, I was not born with it, and my family did not have one. LaTeX can be intimidating by its own, but I feel that sometime the documentation might be not as helpful as it should be. Some more examples should be given to explain some of the points. I may be dull, I admit that. But in my stubbornness, I am trying to manage XeLaTeX. <br>
<br>I am not simply complaining, I would like to give my contribution not for the code, I refer to better experts that me, but for the documentation, if I can, in order to simplify the life to Humanists like me. At least for the parts I can help for.<br>
<br>If my help is needed, I would be very glad to contribute.<br><br>Roberto Gozzoli,<br>Mahidol University International College,<br>Thailand<br><br><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 9 November 2012 12:58, Norbert Preining <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:preining@logic.at" target="_blank">preining@logic.at</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Did it myself already. Yes, this is a fix that works.<br>
<br>
We will push that to tlcritical today and probably to tlnet also.<br>
<br>
More later.<br>

</div>ARTHUR It probably seems a terrible thing to say, but you know what I<br>
sometimes think would be useful in these situations?<br>
LINT. What?<br>
ARTHUR A gun of some sort.<br>
LINT.2 Will this help?<br>
ARTHUR What is it?<br>
LINT.2 A gun of some sort.<br>
ARTHUR Oh, that'll help. Can you make it fire?<br>
LINT. Er...<br>
