Creating account on wiki contextgarden

[Mehdi Omidali]

Hi everyone,
I want to translate "Context an excursion" to farsi and went to
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_on_Excursion,_translations
and tried to create an account to be able to access source files. I
faced a problem in the "anti automated account creation question"
which is something like
(23 plus 8) times roman 'C'
What must be inserted as the answer to such a problem. I tried
everything but no success.
Best Wishes.

(23+8)*C = 31*100 = 3100

Really everything? Also "3100"?

Hi,
I created an account but still I can not register at
https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextman
How can I have the "context an excursion" source file so that I can
translate it.
Best wishes.

The account on the garden is different from SVN access. See
http://foundry.supelec.fr/scm/?group_id=22

To get the files you don't need the account. You need the account in
order to commit changes. Do you have SVN installed? On windows it's
best to install TortoiseSVN and right-lick on "check out", on linux
you should be able to run:
    svn checkout http://scm.foundry.supelec.fr/svn/contextman

You can browse the files on
    http://foundry.supelec.fr/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/context-beginners/?root=contextman

Hi,
Thank you Mojca and Hans,
As the matter of copyright; I want to know if I am allowed to
translate "Context an excursion" to persian. If it is so, I can
translate it and give the translation to whoever you prefer to be
included in the website.
Best Wishes

sure, go ahead, others have translated it too; i can also imagine that 
you adapt some of the content to arab typesetting (fonts and such)

it would make a good testcase for r-l typesetting in context

It would be interestring if we could make a parallel between "western" style
and persian style

I must admit that I will feel confused if the question will be mixed with
ancient maya numbers .

So, someone with a Peruan IP will get a riddle with Maya numbers?
And Irish get some Ogham?

The Maya were further north, in what is today Mexico, Guatemala,  
Honduras and Belize. Peru was home to the Inca, so Peruvians should  
get quipu.

Oh sorry, should have refreshed my geography knowledge before posting.

But quipu is decimal, that's no encryption ;-)

(Recently read an article on ancient numbering systems that pointed  
out that big empires worked only with good arithmetics, i.e. quipu or  
Indian/Arabic numbers succeeded, the Roman empire grew too big for  
their complicated numbers... Does someone know which system the  
Carthagians used?)

Better to say "no", otherwise one can  argue that I'm also able with
Etruscan numerals
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etruscan_numerals

BTW, some linearity equations like
x = IIII - IV
can be problematic (actually {'nulla'  , 'N' } are valid solutions, but it's
an historical matter)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals

One can say that such questions should be avoided because there are no
reasons for non-roman people to know about roman numerals
(at least they are the same of non-maya people to know about maya numerals),
and it's generally true .

But, given that we are talking about ConTeXt and given that \romannumerals
is a ConTeXt macro,
in this particular case such questions are valid.

This open the door to similar questions (cfr core-con.lua,core-con.tex for
persian,thai etc)
and given that Unicode sooner or later will cover all kind of writing
systems of the human race,
I expect that some day some questions will be mixed with maya numerals.
