Closing panel

We will end the conference with a panel of experts fielding questions on any and all TeX topics. So we invite you to submit questions for the panel in advance, either in person at the conference or email tug2007@tug.org earlier. Any TeX-related topic is ok. The moderator will attempt to synthesize them and add more.
