My masters thesis, though evolved considerably since I first submitted a vague description some months ago, is still significantly focused on ConTeXt. I will necessarily be documenting the means by which I overcome certain obstacles, achieve certain effects, etc. This will appear through blog posts, and in the end may or may not be typeset into a kind of "Excursion"-style PDF. All this discussion of poor documentation at times brings fear into my enthusiasm for this thesis. On the one hand I do not wish to rely on mk.II, and on the other I've heard people say that any projects they begin in mk.IV end up being written for mk.II for stability purposes. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Anyway, just wanted to say that there was to be at least one more individual offering help. Too bad it turns out to be a joke :/ Regards, John Haltiwanger On Fri, Apr 2, 2010 at 12:08 PM, Hans Hagen wrote: > On 2-4-2010 11:57, luigi scarso wrote: >> >> On Fri, Apr 2, 2010 at 11:49 AM, Arthur Reutenauer >> =A0wrote: >>>> >>>> Good news - if it isn't an April hoax. :-) >>> >>> =A0Martin, you're so evil! =A0Don't ever ruin my jokes again -- I didn't >>> ruin yours 3 years again (the one where you announced XPSTeX, and said >>> Microsoft would embed pdfTeX in Word). =A0Fortunately people didn't pay >>> too much attention to your mail :-] >>> >>> =A0To all: it was, indeed, an April Fool's joke I suggested to Hans and >>> Taco. =A0Nobody has offered to pay anyone to write ConTeXt documentation >>> yet, although several people have toyed with the idea of writing a >>> ConTeXt book. =A0But, even with the incentive of money, time and >>> motivation are also a problem. >>> >>> =A0And to the only one who offered help -- Luigi: gloria a te! =A0It's >>> heartwarming to see truly sincere support. =A0I'm sorry I have nothing = to >>> provide for the moment, but maybe in the near future things will get >>> moving? >>> >>> =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0Have a nice Good Friday everyone, >> >> So let's see this year what I have won; >> Taco: ++ beers (one for last year...) >> Hans: + beer >> Arthur: + beer >> Martin: 1/2 beer (* I * remember it) > > but that's a german size which is twice the dutch so ... > >> They are 4.5 beers for me --- a good motive to come bachoTeX...hmm.. > > 5 then ... i'd better let you update the modules documentation then before > you start drinking (there will be a current next week, so you have plenty= of > time) > > Hans > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 = =A0 =A0 =A0Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE > =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Nether= lands > =A0 =A0 tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com > =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 = =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 | www.pragma-pod.nl > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > _________________________________________________________________________= __________ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to > the Wiki! > > maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / > http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > webpage =A0: http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net > archive =A0: http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ > wiki =A0 =A0 : http://contextgarden.net > _________________________________________________________________________= __________ > ___________________________________________________________________________= ________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to t= he Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-cont= ext webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________= ________
