Just send initial requests to the list so that others also know about it. Luigi will collect and organize all that and put things in a repository. Then we will decide on what to take into account (on top of Thomas' requirements). There will be a repository (svn or so) on a dedicated machine at Thomas' faculty. Among the direct context related things are - a rewrite of bib modules (partially already done) - extensions to the (line)note mechanisms etc - the ability to plug in a bib processor (bibtex, mlbibtex, whatever we like) I'll probably start with that next month. There might be other new things showing up, and we might also look at some pending luatex opening op that relate to our problems. One thing that will also be done, is document the reasonable subset of tei for doing the kind of things Thomas does so we're talking of pure tex approaches alongside context-xml driven workflows. As Thomas said: we're not going to act on vague requirements that lack examples.
