A bit of wiki news

A bit of wiki news

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hi all,

At the ConTeXt Group Meeting in Sibřina, we have given quite a lot
of thought to the ConTeXt wiki at wiki.contextgarden.net. 

Main points from those deliberations:

* We plan to remove all mkii content from the wiki. Mkiv has been around
  for a long time now, and the few die-hard mkii users we have left can
  find their documentation in the old mkii ConTeXt manuals. There is no
  need any longer to keep all that outdated information in the wiki, 
  especially since it is likely to confuse new users.

* Various people already offered to help improve both structure and content
  of the wiki. Current plans include: rewriting the installation pages,
  creating a Document Topics overview page, testing the examples, adding
  a ‘for dummies’ template at the top of typesetting-related pages, and creating 
  new pages with helpful hints for specific font(-families).

* The mediawiki software will be updated soon(-ish) to the latest version,
  and we plan to develop a new theme at the same time. The current theme
  will probably not work any more after the update anyway.

To make all of that go smoothly, a new mailing list has been created
for people willing to help make the wiki be (even) better than it is today. 
If you are willing and able to help with those improvements, then please
subscribe to the ‘wiki’ mailing list here:

Best wishes,

Taco
