… and another thing that came up in my workshops and in discussions at
our booth: the math manual is eagerly awaited! (My book too, but I can’t
answer most questions about math.)
One participant tested some math alignment examples from an older paper
by Aditya and found them working in her current LMTX installation but
not in COW – I know it runs an older version, but Aditya’s article was
even older…

Oh, I see. So, I should really try to get something out. It is
difficult to find enough time working on it, in particular since Hans
is always adding new (not only math) stuff, but I will try. It is fun
to participate in the development, and I do not want to delay it
(somebody has to push him and test, and so on...)
But I should probably get something out, even if that is not really
finished/polished. All the basics are there. Then it can be a
work-in-progress document, adding/modifying new stuff.

There have been many changes along the way, and maybe at some time
some things were not really working, but later fixed.

In any case, it will be good to have examples of something that breaks. Usually, it is due to minor change in the syntax and easily fixable.

Yes, please! The version that you gave me a year ago is already really
interesting and helpful, and Hans’ manuals are also often "in progress".
A visible TODO marker might help – I’m using the following in my book to
keep track of incomplete sections:
\defineregister[todos]
\define[1]\TODO{\inouter{\tt\color[red]{TODO}}\expanded{\todos{\structurevariable{title}}}\color[red]{\bf #1}\autoinsertnextspace}
…
\startsection[title=Lists]
\TODO{Research the options of \tex{setupitemgroup}!}
\stopsection
…
\startchapter[title=Work list]
Sections that still need work.\blank
\placetodos
\stopchapter
So I get a prominent marker in the content and the title of the affected
section as an index.

I thought so, too.
For promotion I’d like to have a few examples where the difference
between TeX/LaTeX default rendering and new ConTeXt rendering is visible.
