 ## MITeX
 
-A web app that lets users create a document, and then it texs the document nicely for them, based on some template that they've selected, and gives them a PDF.  They have the ability to edit the source or just use the WYSIWYG editor.  You can see the current version (in development) [http://mitex.mit.edu](http://mitex.mit.edu).  Please email [mitex@mit.edu](mailto:mitex@mit.edu) with questions, comments, or suggestions (or if you'd like to get on board!).
+A web app that lets users edit a TeX document (either source or WYSIWYG), using a template, and then compiles to a PDF (or PS or DVI, etc.).  This way, people can create beautiful documents entirely from the web.  You can see the current version (in development) at [http://mitex.mit.edu](http://mitex.mit.edu).  Please email [mitex@mit.edu](mailto:mitex@mit.edu) with questions, comments, or suggestions (or if you'd like to get on board!).

 ## Bazki
 
 [Bazki](http://bazki.mit.edu/) is a wiki written in Python designed around several principles: structured data with object-oriented inheritance; using a wiki language with powerful macros that can be compiled into either HTML or PDF (via LaTeX); and making the content editable offline using a VCS.  Bazki works enough to to be useful, but it has lots of room for improvement and probably would benefit from some design changes.  It could also definitely use documentation.  Email bazki for more information or to get involved.
