Yes, Taco only said that DVDs will be sent to members in September.

Ruby is not needed for MkIV, but if he is planning to use MKII, you'll
want to install Ruby anyway.

I get very confused by all the different versions. For starters, what is Tex
Live? Is it the full blown Context or is it something else? The TUG site has
Tex Live 2009 which I assume is a stable version that is distributed on DVDs
to TUG members. I get the impression that other Context "compilers" for lack
of a better term exist and that Context Minimals is a stripped down version
of a more powerful one. How far off track am I?
