Abstract: At the beginning of the past decade, (TUG'90 in TEXas), we explored
the future of publishing with an eye on the role TEX and the TEX
community might play in the evolution of digital publishing. The idea
of open software was fostering open communication between all players
along the supply chain, from author through editorial and production.
Did this dream materialize? Beyond the imagination, but the real
benefits are yet to come. Now we see the collaboration between
disparate groups and individuals from academia, business, and
government resulting in powerful open standards that will shape not
only digital publishing, but interaction and communication worldwide.
