Specifically, some topics change considerably over time, but wiki pages do not, and so newbie users are completely confused. I would like to announce "The First Week of Wiki: Improving the Installation Instructions" http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Installation Take this page for example: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation It should more-or-less disapear (it may be left for historical reasons in quarantine, but other than that, it should not confuse people!!!) So, I have a little request: can we devote one week (or 10 days if neded) for improvement of installation instructions? This means: - improve a generic page (Installation) with links, general notes about dependencies (ruby, perl), general settings (\useMPTEXgraphicstrue, \preloadtypescripts, write18, texexec --make --all, ctxtools --updatecontext, ..), release notes - three (or slightly more) main pages: Windows Installation, Mac Installation, Linux Installation - Linux Installation may have links to Debian Installation or to Installation from source or similar, but we certainly do not need dozens of different pages for the same thing (Debian TeXlive install, Debian installation, TeX-live) - an template for obsolete stuff (what to do with Aleph? - it's not supported any more anyway) Etc. The topic to follow should probably be about fonts or hello world documents. But we should start somewhere.
