Announcements ⇒ Reviewing the LaTeX and Graphics contest

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hello dear forum members,

perhaps you already have seen it in the front page: 10 authors have sent contributions to the contest “LaTeX and Graphics”, all have been published. Big thanks go to the authors for their great work!

Did you like an article? Or many? It would be great if you would

• comment on it - what you liked, what further ideas do you have about this topic. Feedback is very welcome by authors. If you already read an article, it's still a good idea to visit the article again and to comment on it.
• blog about it - if you are a blogger. Tell your readers, which article you liked, what do you think about the contributions.
• share it via Twitter, google+ or Facebook - there are buttons for it over and below each post. Spread the word about LaTeX!

Choosing the winners, will be a hard decision. You can help us: show to us which contributions are the most liked by you.

Here are the nominees - please vote, comment and share!

• LaTeX and Chemistry - Drawing Reaction Schemes by Clemens Niederberger
• Efficient Seamless Tiled Backgrounds by Lim Lian Tze

Did you follow the contest and liked it? Should we make another one later, with a new topic and new books as prizes?

Let's take some time together for reviewing, then will know who has won the prizes.

Stefan, thousands of links are ringing - 404 File not Found - right now, including all of the ones in this post above.

Yes, I disabled the article system because of security reasons, and did not find/install a replacement software yet. I plan to set it up again on a server separate from the forum, perhaps simply with Wordpress instead of Joomla (before), it will take some manual work though.

Hi V-10,

welcome to the forum!

Unable to open the links !!!

Perhaps try to talk in a nice and civilized tone next time.

But I try to help you: recently the articles moved to LaTeX.net, I will update the links when I have some minutes free time available. Direct link to all 10 of the articles: latex.net/tag/graphics/.
