Re: A not so short introduction to ConTeXt - French version - progress report.

["Joaquín Ataz López" <jal@um.es>]

I think it's a fantastic reorganization of the material. And I am proud 
to have been, in a way, its promoter. But I understand that the fairest 
thing to do is to remove my name from the authorship of the text, to put 
the name of the real author, and, if anything, in the credits and 
copyright page, to indicate that it is inspired by a text written by me.

I am not saying this because I don't like the text, on the contrary. I 
say it because I don't deserve to be attributed the authorship of 
something that someone else has written and that implies more knowledge 
about ConTeXt than I have.

In fact I am going to study it carefully.

Thank you very much, Garulfo. It would be desirable that through 
initiatives of this type we manage to generate a good introductory 
literature to this fantastic text composition system that is ConTeXt.
