We have therefore begun with building +usage documentation that is not scattered across different +repositories as this is the case at the moment. + +For issues encountered with the project code we have added a dedicated +[`tagging-project` +repository](https://github.com/latex3/tagging-project) a while ago, +where people can report problems and look up the current state of +known issues. It is also hosting discussions related to the project. + +We have now extended this to use GitHub pages providing a small [Web +browser-friendly site](https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/).

We +are looking for volunteers who try out the tagging code in various +ways and report problems or package incompatibilites and help with +developing tests that prove or disprove that the tagging code can be +used with packages for which we don't have enough data so far. + + + --- Frank + + +
