announcement and call

["Thomas A. Schmitz" <thomas.schmitz@uni-bonn.de>]

Dear list,

today, I have an announcement to make and a call for contributions. We 
have obtained a medium-sized grant at my university to further 
development of ConTeXt. Specifically, our project wants to facilitate 
typesetting critical editions after the TEI xml standard and 
bibliographical data. Luigi will be employed as a full-time developer 
for the next 6 months (he signed his contract today); Hans will 
coordinate the work flow.

So this is good news. Now for the call for contributions: we invite you 
to send in examples in those two areas (critical editions, i.e. 
linenotes cum suis, and bibliographical data, aka bib-module) which show 
where ConTeXt could be developed. So please send examples to the list 
that show limitations or bugs, ask for new features, etc. If you want 
new features in the bibliography department, please do not send vague 
requests ("it would be nice if we could have hungarian reference 
systems") but small examples which show a precise feature and a possible 
syntax for it.

Of course, I can't promise that we will be able to act on all your 
submissions, but I'm optimistic that this project will make our favorite 
software better!

All best

Thomas
