[dev-context] Footer for ntg-context mailing list, to encourage feedback
Hello, As a (delayed) part of my duty I'm now writing the report about the Discussion on improving ConTeXt documentation. One of ideas was to add a short footer to each mail on the mailing list, which would encourage more people to reply after they get a solution to their feature request or a bug report (as opposed to the fact that many [sometimes including me] simply disappear after they get the answer and one never knows if they solved the problem or not). The following notices might be relevant to add to the default mail footer, but I'm afraid that the list is too long already. Any ideas/suggestions/comments? - Please wikify tricky parts and help us improve ConTeXt documentation: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ http://texshow.contextgarden.net/ - Please test and provide feedback for any answers you get on the list: Did the solution work? Was the bug resolved? - Please help us collect new files for testing against bugs: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Test - Confirmed and unresolved bugs are collected on https://foundry.supelec.fr/tracker/?atid=161group_id=21 (Collecting test files should be simplified anyway; the last two items do not seem as relevant as the rest.)

2007/4/2, Arthur Reutenauer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Maybe it's already too long... but the idea of including a bucket load of links in the footer is familiar anyway; if you fill in the For links in the footer, tinyurl or something similar is preferred, as it saves bandwidth.

For links in the footer, tinyurl or something similar is preferred, as it saves bandwidth. I think it's not really the point here: the idea is to have permanent (and possibly easy to remember) links to relevant locations; but there is a tradeoff to be found between the density of information and the legibility of the footer; in that respect, the example I cited certainly has too much links, but having only one might not be a good idea either because there are different aspects to address (contributing to the wiki, reporting bugs, etc.). ___ dev-context mailing list dev-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/dev-context
