The context manuals need to be updated and completed. The wiki is a good (dynamic) source of information, but this lacks the structuring of written = manuals. I believe that people are working on this, both trying to structure the wiki as well as to revise the manuals, unless I am mistaken. Good = documentation is a lot of work, but I believe that it is (almost) as import= ant = as good programming... My question to the mailing list: is this task structured? Is this being = managed by anyone? Perhaps this was discussed at the User Meeting last August. I would have li= ked = to participate (had I been available)... ___________________________________________________________________________= ________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to t= he Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-cont= ext webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________= ________
