dvdcoll
package.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dvdcoll
Summary description: A class for typesetting DVD archives
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Having lost the overview of my DVD archives, I simply could not remember
if I already recorded the documentary running on TV that day. I chose to
recreate the index using LaTeX: the design aim was a hyperlinked and fully
searchable PDF-document listing my DVDs with all titles, contents, lengths
and so on. Further requirements were support for seasons of tv series and
a list with all faulty or missing programs for rerecording. The dvdcoll
class supports all these requirements.
dvdcoll.cls follows the structure <number><title><length>. As a result,
the class is not limited to DVDs - you can of course typeset archives of
CD-ROMs, Audio-CDs and so on.
Supported languages at the moment: English, French, German, Italian, Polish,
Portuguese, Spanish.
Some help is needed for other languages! ;-)

Name of contribution: dashrule
Author's name: Scott Pakin
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dashrule
Summary description: Draw dashed rules in LaTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The dashrule package makes it easy to draw a huge variety of dashed
rules (i.e., lines) in LaTeX. dashrule provides a command,
hdashrule, which is a cross between LaTeX's
ule and PostScript's
setdash command. hdashrule draws horizontally dashed rules using the
same syntax as
ule, but with an additional, setdash-like parameter
that specifies the pattern of dash segments and the space between
those segments. Because dashrule's rules are constructed internally
using
ule (as opposed to, e.g., PostScript specials) they are fully
compatible with every LaTeX back-end processor.
This minor update enables hdashrule to begin a paragraph.

i have placed the submission on the latex experimental tree, at
macros/latex/exptl/memoir-beta
when we have the final version, we can erase that location (or redirect
it to memoir proper).

i have installed the package as indicated above, and created an entry in
the catalogue. i believe the location is sufficiently different from
that of the original package that one hopes it won't be a source of
confusion.
users may view the catalogue entry at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/memoir-beta.html
or browse the package directory at

Thanks for the upload. I have installed the package and created a
catalogue entry for it.
The package was installed some time ago, and will be well on its way
around the world. The catalogue entry will appear on the web tonight
some time.

Summary description: Multiple series of endnotes for critical editions,

License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Edmargin provides a very simple scheme for endnote sections for critical
editions. Endnotes can either be marked in the text, or with marginal
references to the page in the note sections where the note is to be
found. Notes can be set in individual paragraphs, or in block paragraph
mode (where there are many short notes). Note sections will have running
headers of the form "Textual notes to pp. xx--yy" New note
sections can be created on the fly. There are predefined endnote sections
for textual notes, emendations, and explanatory notes.
