What I=E2=80=99d consider the most pressing issue, pertaining both to Context and to TeX as a whole, would be text streams a.k.a. parallel typesetting. It was discussed on the list a couple times already and at one point someone collected examples [1]. Also, I sketched the current state of parallel texts elsewhere [2]. > so please send examples to the list=20 > that show limitations or bugs, ask for new features, etc. if you want=20 > new features in the bibliography department, please do not send vague=20 > requests I have a working albeit hackish (manual page-breaking ftw) implementation for the plain format which I wasn=E2=80=99t able to port to Context due to the much more complex page model of the latter. Example output: https://phi-gamma.net/pdf/example-3.pdf To minimize the vagueness ;-) I could share the sources but I doubt it=E2=80=99s of much value in its present state.

Looking forward to status reports! Will the improvements be directly merged into Context or do you prefer releasing it as a self-contained module?
