There are many tasks needing to be done in support of the LaTeX3 project which can be worked on concurrently with the development of the LaTeX3 kernel. Furthermore, some tasks require special expertise not found among the core programming team. Initial research, analysis, and work on these tasks by volunteers can greatly speed up the process of integrating a number of desirable features into LaTeX3. Many of these features can be extensively developed and tested under LaTeX 2.09 even before the LaTeX3 kernel is available. Therefore we are publishing a list of tasks to the LaTeX user community through various channels and we ask readers to consider contributing some time and effort (particularly, but not exclusively, readers with expertise in the various areas touched on). The task list is distributed in the form of a LaTeX article; it is fairly readable in electronic form, and it can be printed on paper if desired.

It will also be mailed initially to some mail lists and newsgroups that are likely sources of volunteers. Suggestions for additional publication destinations are welcome. If after reading the descriptions you are interested in working on a particular task, the first step is to contact the coordinator for that task (if one is listed), or else contact the volunteer list manager: George D. Greenwade Department of Economics and Business Analysis College of Business Administration P. O.

Otherwise, the list manager will designate you as the `task coordinator' for that task, and assist you in getting answers to any initial questions you may have. Further details are found in Appendix A of the task list.
