*Top new improvements and corrections*

*Contribute to TXM*

TXM is provided to you free of charge. In return, in the spirit of
free software, you are invited to participate in its improvement. To
do so, you do not have to be software developer. For instance, you
can:

  - Send us your publications or other papers showing your use of TXM;
  - Report bugs you might find in TXM, preferably directly in the users
    wiki (in French). Of course you can always use the 'txm-users'
    mailing list for your returns:
    https://groupes.renater.fr/sympa/info/txm-users
  - Help us translate the user interface or documentation in other languages
  - Share with the community of users your course materials, as well as
    sample corpora
  - Invite your fellow developers to adapt TXM to your needs and share
    with us these developments. In its core (Java and C programming:
    for professional developers) or at its periphery (Groovy language
    scripting: much more accessible)
  - Set up a research project using TXM (eg NEH or DFG) for which we
    can advise you in the customization of the software
  - Make proposals for improving the documentation and TXM dissemination
  - Add a link from your website to the home page of the Textométrie
    project http://textometrie.ens-lyon.fr

Please contact us at 'textometrie AT ens-lyon.fr' for further information.
