I use a brute force method. On my computer I have all the Context mailing list posts in a folder starting with February 2, 2004. I can search on a keyword. If the subject in every case contains "errata" then it is easy to assemble a listing of the pertinent posts. Looking to the future, if I see a post with "errata" in the subject line I can inspect it and mark up my manual. At that point I don't need the particular post any more. If instead we are to use the wiki, then someone (not me) needs to explain the ins and outs of wikidom, create a page etc. as outlined in my first paragraph. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf
