For those unfamiliar with the tex community, when we talk 'research' and such, keep in mind that most tex related research is kind of bogus, wishful thinking, sounding serious, etc. and that most 'projects' are just 'activities by enthousiatic users' In the end it's all about esthetics which is more about feeling and intuition and pretty much driven by user demsnds. In a similar fashion most 'tex conferences' are more user meetings.
Will there be new units to represent the amount of alcohol that has to be imbibed in order to (a) create the joke and (b) understand it?
I'm not sure which of these needs to be the larger. Perhaps that could be the subject of the next research?
