@TheAmplitwist done!

@DavidCarlisle oh no

@DavidCarlisle quack

@PauloCereda \mathscr{BREAKFAST}

@DavidCarlisle oh no

@DavidCarlisle ooh math

@PauloCereda in honour of Unicode 14

@DavidCarlisle yay

@DavidCarlisle oh

@AlanMunn are you a linguex user?

@UlrikeFischer you didn't ask me?

@DavidCarlisle oh

@DavidCarlisle do you want to create a new repo?

@UlrikeFischer ooh davidcarlisle/linguex-fixed

@PauloCereda s/fixed/issues-for-a-new-maintainer/

@DavidCarlisle assign it to @JosephWright and call it a day

@PauloCereda island-of-tex/linguex

@DavidCarlisle oh no

@TeXnician ^^

@DavidCarlisle thankfully we don't exist for the UK :)

@UlrikeFischer No I know the package well, but I don't like it at all.

@UlrikeFischer I'm guessing from the comments that it doesn't work with new updates to the kernel?

@AlanMunn it still works, but there is a (not very large) patch in hyperref to support its \a, \b, \c definition which I would like to get rid of. Imho the package could handle this itself, but I guess this will need outside help, the maintainer answered but is no longer active.

@UlrikeFischer I see. Is he willing to transfer maintenance to someone else?

@AlanMunn /dev/null :)

@AlanMunn it sounded as if he would do it, but also accept a one time ctan upload.

@UlrikeFischer I see. A side of me wants to support the linguistics community, and another side wishes the package would disappear. :) linguex also interacts badly with font packages to some extent (which is what the hyperref patch is doing too, I think?)

@AlanMunn yes, that is one thing that should be improved. The definitions should be either local or at least only done at begin document.

@UlrikeFischer The real problem is that the package doesn't use any environments at all.

@UlrikeFischer But that's what people who don't know better like about it. :)

@UlrikeFischer I haven't looked at the code in a while, but I suppose those commands could be defined within the scope of the \ex. and \exg. macros which would help a lot.

@PauloCereda On the jsPsych issue. The developers responded, and what I was trying isn't really implemented, but they provided an alternative solution that works.

@AlanMunn yay!

@PauloCereda Yay indeed. There is an eager bunch of students waiting to run an experiment, and I was holding up their progress.

@AlanMunn you could blame them anyway. :)

@DavidCarlisle If you want to do some experiments with Unicode Caligraphic and Script, I have basic LuaTeX input support and test font at gist.github.com/zauguin/d898331f11d8cd0def689bff57228cce

@barbarabeeton ooh twitter.com/shouldhaveaduck/status/1408807481770348546

@MarcelKrüger thanks

@MarcelKrüger it works:-)

@AlanMunn yes, I didn't look very carefully but I think one can groups there.

@UlrikeFischer One of the downsides of the SE model is that mailing list use for the most part has disappeared (e.g. Ling-TeX receives now only a few messages a year if that). But this means there's no way to engage with the community of users of a package to see if someone would be willing to take over maintenance.

@AlanMunn yes, breaking the package and setting up a for-future-maintainer github doesn't work really well ;-)
