Heh, no you are not disappointing me.  We'll have it eventually
anyways ;)  We have already reached our primary goals, and we (I) only
have to work on a couple of issues.

I believe so.  For example I usually hand my homeworks and
presentations as PDF files, so I can sleep confidently that the
teachers will see the document exactly I see them at home.

Actually I have to do a few document designs during this year, and
I thought Beast could benefit from them too.  Of course we don't have
to include them in a Beast distro, but I will definitely use
texitheque to manage content ;)

Later,
