Users groups for TeX have been around since 1980. I'm the Vice President of the original one, the TeX Users Group (TUG) and John asked me to write a bit about it.

WriteLaTeX is being used to teach math and science courses in universities around the world. Find out more in this short introductory video.

WriteLaTeX co-founder John Hammersley shows how to use the service to create, edit and share your scientific work.

May has been a busy month at writeLaTeX -- we've welcomed lots of new users, and seen some great new projects and collaborations! If you've missed any of our recent announcements, here's a quick summary.

I'm a PhD student and recently had to write a couple of papers for a conference. Despite emailing the pdfs for review to my supervisors, after submitting things still got missed.

I'm hoping writeLaTeX will enable a more collaborative means to write documents and ensure the latest version is worked upon.

I use pdf_tex files for my graphs, and since the writeLaTeX team added support so I could use them in my documents here, I wanted to share how this style of graph is achieved so others can produce beautiful vector based graphics.
