[NTG-context] Idea for a shared repository.

[NTG-context] Idea for a shared repository.

[Pawel Urbanski via ntg-context]

Dear Everyone,

We currently have the Context Garden site, wiki and htis list for 
documentation and resources.


There is a Github contextgarden organization that can host repositories.


What about creating a repository called: 'templates' or 'resources' - we 
can figure out the exact name later.


The idea behind it is to collect templates and examples that are 
scattered all over the web or in the list threads. The first example 
that comes to my mind is the type definition for a Roboto font I needed 
and other type scripts that can be useful for the community. Then there 
are templates for books, slides or documents. The Repository has a wiki 
where we could add some notes about more complex items.


It is not about duplicating the Context garden site but to collect code 
in a place where we could gradually fix possible errors or introduce 
improvements.


All the best,

Pawel

Why not use the wiki for such documents? For fonts, there is already a wiki page collecting typescripts:

https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Typescripts_examples

There are also a collection of templates which are already on the wiki:

https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Sample_documents

This can be done on the wiki as well.

I agree that it makes most sense to keep examples and (font) setups in 
the wiki.

Projects with several files, like modules, should have their own (git) 
repositories. (The scripts at modules.contextgarden.net can pull 
releases directly from a repository.)

I think it’s better to have (and manage) your own account somewhere and 
link to it from the wiki than to use the “official” account for stuff 
that is not part of ConTeXt proper.

My stuff is at https://codeberg.org/fiee/; some of that would also make 
(more) sense in the wiki.
