Looks good on first sight, but it must be a nightmare job for any editor to
collect and organize many remarks, suggestions, typo reports and other
comments, which are guaranteed to be contradictory in a certain percentage,
and make time to use these as input for an editing job...

So (unless I overestimate the job) until a publisher with time and money to
spend decides to put one editor to work on one ConTeXt book at a time, we'll
have to wait for Hans finding time to produce new versions. As they are, the
manuals look great. If I think about the amount of work in them... how can
anyone write these manuals als also have time to pogram the work that the
books are about, and make a living in the remaining time? Groet, Frans
