Subject: A new manual
Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 09:20:02 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200609280920.02364.john@wexfordpress.com> (raw)
What is needed now for greater acceptance of Context is not new
features but a new manual, perhaps a multi volume set with a
common index. The 2001 manual is great, but many of the features
discussed daily here are not in it. One must chase around the
wiki and the individual manuals like "details", and that is not
satisfactory from the point of view of the new user. Most of us
have memorized the locations of key information but newcomers
have not.
If a consolidated manual set were offered for sale there would be a
lot of customers. Or an abridged version, something like the
1999 Excursion manual but expanded and updated, would be a
possibility.
