Summary description: Multilingual bibliographies: The babelbib package
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package enables to generate multilingual bibliographies in
cooperation with babel. Two approaches are possible: Each citation
may be written in another language, or the whole bibliography can
be typeset in a language chosen by the user. The current version
supports Afrikaans, Bahasa, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto,
Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese,
Spanish, and Swedish.
In addition, the package supports commands to change the typography
of the bibliographies.
Many of the standard and extended bibliography styles are available.

Announcement text:

Stone Handwriting will be the starting point for the freefont bundle.
Other (beautiful) fonts may be included in future.
License: LPPL (not the font itself)
v1.0:
- added LaTeX support for the font: Softmaker Stone Handwriting
Attention: The font is not included! This font is font of the
month (June 2009) and can be downloaded for free at (at least
this month): http://freefont.de

On Tue, 16 Jun 2009, Wybo Dekker submitted an update to the
isodoc
package.
The isodoc class can be used for the preparation of letters,
invoices, and, in the future, similar documents. Documents are set
up with options, thus making the class easily adaptable to user’s
wishes and extensible for other document types.
Victor Eijkhout’s NTG brief class, which implements the NEN1026
standard, was the starting point.

Summary description: Enables grid typesetting in two column documents in LaTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
grid.sty is a LaTeX package to enable grid typesetting in
double column documents. Grid typesetting (vertical aligning
of lines of text in adjacent columns) is a difficult task in
LaTeX, this is only a humble attempt to help users to
achieve it in a limited way. An example document, grid.tex,
has been provided with simple instructions to typeset it by
making use of grid.sty. The package needs a lot of
improvements, this is only a beginning.

Name of contribution: subdocs 0.1

Summary description: Multifile documents
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a tentative package aiming to provide a different
approach for multidocument works (mainly, books with a
document per chapter). Unlike the include mechanism, every
subdocument is a complete normal LaTeX document and can be
typeset separately. What the package does is sharing the
aux files. It's still an alpha version, and no attempt has
been done yet to make it to work with, say, hyperref.
