Commissioned work - we're looking for a ConTeXt person to help us finishing a 200+ pages multi-lingual art book (with Xetex?)

[Pierre Huyghebaert]

Dear list,

I'm part of a design group Open Source Publishing, and we use ConTeXt  
for a few months now. The main goal is to produce a 200+ pages multi- 
lingual art book for which we have in the past months some exchanges  
with kind members of the list about font install and Xetex. I  
currently work more on the design itself.

To finish on time, avoid loosing time on some hazardous/random errors,  
and also learning ConTeXt more "from the inside", we're looking for a  
person interested to have a commissioned work -for a fair price per  
day- to help us crossing the last technical problems (some of them  
still unknown and only potential). It's not easy for us to plan the  
exact amount of work, but it will certainly be closely linked to :
- ConTeXt
- Xetex (or another solution to use custom fonts)
- Pictures
- Final production of CMYK PDF's for the printer

We work in Brussels but are able to travel to the Netherlands without  
problems. A first meeting will probably be helpful to go to more  
details. We'll try to push the project as far as possible this month  
and in July to be able to print the book in August.

If you are, or you know a person interested in, do not hesitate to  
contact us,

Also possible in MkIV (LuaTeX) and even simpler with the simplefonts  
module.
