I was under the impression that Insight was supposed to be an open
source project.  Why are we distributing vital information in a
proprietary format that some of us cannot easily read?

I strongly suggest that all documents should be distributed in PDF
format, in addition to or instead of whatever format you find
convenient for creating the document.  That way, the readers only have
to get ONE document reading program instead of many.

It would be even better to standardize on a single document
preparation tool, but I suspect the TeX and MS Word users will have
irreconcilable differences...
