  I want to belive, but i have seen serveral TeX alternatives (Such as ANT [1][2] and Rhinotype[3]), but they all die very quickly. Esp. ANT would have been a fantastic improvement.

  Patoline is a great project, that I have mentioned a few times in comments. To start gaining traction though, it should migrate from darcs to git, and move their own repo to github. It would enable people to contribute more easily, as well as bug reporting and editing the documentation.

  Is this project still alive? The main page is copyright 2012 and both the mailing list and the bug tracker appear to be down. The tarball is still there, though.

    > Is this project still alive? pmeunier (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=pmeunier https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=pmeunier), one of the authors, discusses this a bit at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8026930 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8026930 (though without, I think, committing to any definitive answer).
