I currently use Kile to edit LaTeX documents. I don't like kile for a couple of reasons so I was thinking of trying to learn how to use texmacs. I have been through a tutorial for emacs which I am now getting to grips with. The documentation for texmacs and auctex are pretty weak in terms of explaining how to install and how to use those things. A quick google search didn't show up any friendly "how-to"s on this topic. Are there any resources you can direct me to?
I'm a bit puzzled by your question. I use Emacs+Auctex on Windows, Linux and OS X machines and have never had any problem installing them. I'd suggest heading to http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ and following the instructions. If you have any more specific questions post again.
sorry I can't help you with TeXmacs, I just wanted to note that this program isn't under active development for quite some time now. If you look at the homepage the copyright notice is until year 2003!
If you are looking for a more GUI oriented LaTeX editor I can recommend LyX. Emacs+AucTeX is of course wonderful, but it has a certain learning curve.
However if you plan to learn Emacs or are using it already, than you should definitely go for it!

I was searching for new visualization libraries in Python, and I learned about the existence of Pyvista. The examples I've seen look amazing.
I used to work with Mayavi a few years ago, but Pyvista seems very tempting. Are the features in Pyvista really as well-rounded as traditional libraries like Mayavi, etc.?
The question can seem opinion-based, but sometimes new libraries need a few years to become complete. I learned this the hard way with some CAD packages.
I intend to use Mayavi to post-process results from CFD simulations (computational fluid dynamics). Please let me know your opinions.
Thanks in advance,
As PyVista is just a wrapper for VTK it's safe to say that you are not restricted in what is possible.
I found the move from Mayavi to Pyvista really straight forward. The library has a couple of functions that allows you to convert your existing data structure into VTK friendly structures quite easily.
And if you were a fan of Mayavi's pipeline work there is something similar in PyVista where you can add on different things to do plotter.
I hope that helps. Also, join the slack channel if you want to ask any questions / see what other people are using it for.

I'm looking for a premade IRC bot, that i can easily install on some of my channels. They are mainly support channels, so we will need to be able to add commands to give out important notices etc.
All help is much appretiated.
You should have a look at Supybot. It's an extensible and easily configurable IRC bot written in Python. You will find many plug-ins on the official website or on GitHub. If you happen to know some Python, it is probably your best option.
You could also try Eggdrop (or Windrop which is basically an Eggdrop version for Windows). Many TCL scripts (extensions) are available pretty much everywhere.
I suggest you to visit the IRC-Wiki which could be useful when you need information about anything related to IRC.

Just recently I stumbled upon the awe6 game framework for Haxe and I want to give it a try, but the only "tutorial" on the site is a prebuilt FlashDevelop project template that also appears to be quite complex already.
I've tried to dissect the template but some things are quite weird and I can't figure out why the template seems to work, so I'd rather prefer a tutorial (or at least a very simple "Hello World" example) that sets everything up and runs without assuming a specific IDE. I've also tried Google but almost all of the results were leading back to the FlashDevelop template.
Are there any tutorials/examples/simple demos with source code for awe6 that are not burried in a IDE specific template and are step-by-step and/or otherwise easy to understand?
We are working on a suite of tutorials (and videos). In the meanwhile please see this very simple Hello World example which leads on to the templates (now also available as Linux bash scripts):

This isn't exactly an answer, but the framework's author Rob Fell did a presentation a few weeks ago at the WWX conference:

Valerie Elimak's presentation has a couple of good examples http://workshops.elimak.com/awe6june12/

I would like to know what packages and tools to use to write blogs from within emacs.
I mean packages to write and publish.
I 've seen a demo of that in textmate : http://blog.macromates.com/2006/blogging-from-textmate/
Is it possible to do the same in emacs?
Thank you very much.
Edit: I found a package in google code that serve blogging form emacs e-blog
I still don't get it why this thread is closed !!!! Not related to development!!???
emacspeak has a module that hooks up to Blogspot, but I was never able to make it work for editing posts.
EmacsWikiBlog may suit your purpose.
You can accomplish something blog-like using Planner mode.
I don't think emacs is the right tool for this job.
Perhaps you should check out Blogger or if you have hosting and want to start a blog maybe try Wordpress.

Looking for an attractive, highly customizable forum plugin to implement. Don't want to build one myself, but don't want to settle for usual crap. Something Ajax-y?
Was leaning towards Community Server but would love to see what others had to reccomend.
Thanks.
EDIT: This is an ASP.NET/C#/SQL application
See http://ask.metafilter.com/52003/Good-community-forum-software
Options
Lussumo's Vanilla
Simple Machines
BBPress
Attractive is subjective, so you'll need to look around.
If you don't already have authentication or anything running, you might check out Active Forums that runs within DotNetNuke. I've been using it and I'm very happy thus far, ajax paging for users, standard paging for bots, social bookmarking built in, and many other nice items.
YetAnotherForum is ASP.NET/C#/SQL like your application and it looks very nice. I'm not sure about AJAX though.
It can run in DotNetNuke, Rainbow, or stand-alone.
