Lamport wrote the initial LaTeX book Packages for LaTeX like memoir come with a manual written by the authors. There are 'combination' manuals (Kopka etc) but they all are based on the availability of full initial manuals. But apart from that, the most imporant thing is that resources are scarce and you guys have limits we need to honour. I think we should find a way for you guys to go on and not get swamped by too much and thus we need to find a way to make your documentation work lighter (as obviously - for me - it does not get the attention it should). So I would propose to set up a way that a group of others can maintain documentation. Your task would then be an editor's task: proofread, suggest changes and agree. Minor changes can be done by the editors. major changes go past you and Taco as editors-in-chief. Your OK promotes it to alpha. And something like a manual (book) needs to be part of it. This should be based on (imo) merging the content of the excursion and the manual. The editors should be able to start a compilation run. The result should be the 'work in progress' pdf that has a fixed location on the pragma site. So, what we initially need is some sort of svn repository with access by a limited group, a mailing list for that group only. An e-mail adress to send documentation suggestions to. I am prepared to do some work on this (e.g. editor work).

Up till now this has been quite a time investment without noticeable return, partly due to not finding a comprehensive \*interaction* commands documentation to guide me all along. Therefore, I wanted to give it (and ConTeXt) one last chance by starting from scratch and progress by trial and error. Hence my previous question. Alan P.S.

And I would be very happy if there was only one decent manualreference maintained by a group of people, complete and up to date. thers could maintain a beginner's manual on the basis of that, but add the maintenance of a second beginner's manual and suddenly one needs to maintain two things. This cannot completely be avoided (as also in the manual the same thing will be in many places as technique 1 is part of the example for technique 2, etc.). At first, I would suggest that the documentation project would consider itself with one thing: a 'user reference manual' for ConTeXt. If that succeeds and people have energy left they can do a simplified beginner's manual. Note: personally, I think a beginner's manual could be part of the big manual. Say, an 'excursion' chapter or a 'beginner's section' at the start of each chapter..

[NTG-context] What happened to \reference
I have started (after a hiatus) to compile my project again using an
updated ConTeXt
ConTeXt ver: 2008.03.03 00:34 MKII fmt: 2008.3.4 int: english/english
and something that used to work has stopped working:
\reference[logic:implicationprogram]
{\getbuffer[logic:implicationprogram]}
gives an empty result. This used to (say a year ago) get me the
contents of the buffer I set up earlier.
I tried the excursion, manual and wiki but only got very confused. In
the past I must have concluded that this should work and apparantly it
did. But rereading everything about \reference (wiki gives me many
hits and I cannot find the right one) I get completely confused about
what \reference exactly does with the second argument.

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.
I must admit that I will feel confused if the question will be mixed with
ancient maya numbers .
well, you're an original 'roman' guy so you'll get the easy creation
question
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 = - 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.
