By inspecting type-otf.mkiv from texlive context-minimals, I see that the latter is almost 4x bigger - probably it includes most of the interesting free fonts available. For now, it can be enough considering that atm we'll mostly write markdown/reST and convert to ConTeXt via pandoc, but later we'll go into final production and then there will be another question relevant - whether there are some affordable commercial quality fonts which could enhance the free collection and which cover extended Unicode range (we need to use Sanskrit diacritics that were created via TeX accent mechanism when we worked in old LaTeX).

Re: [NTG-context] other markup to ConTeXt
This was exactly what I was wondering last night: How hard would it be to just write the converter into LuaTeX? Does LuaTeX's position as a moving target affect this at all? As you suggest Phillip, it might not be so difficult. It certainly sounds like a worthwhile project. Seeming as how there is an obvious spread of interest, perhaps we can start working on something collaboratively.

Re: [NTG-context] other markup to ConTeXt
There is a lua markdown converter: http://github.com/jgm/lunamark It can output html and latex, I don't think it would be hard to make it output context and integrate it in some way.

I was planning on using Python docutils with changing its LaTeX converter for ConTeXt. But of course direct LuaTeX parsing of other markup would be really nice. Markdown, ReST, Creole - I don't really care, as far as there's a parser in Python, so that I can integrate it in my Django-based Web CMS. None of their specs is really precise AFAIR, but I guess ConTeXt's standard markup commands are flexible enough. Greetlings from Lake Constance!

[NTG-context] Issues with MetaPost boxes
Since some weeks I have strange problems with MetaPost in MKIV (beta). The
attached example should (and did in the past) output a central box (Fakt)
surrounded by five boxes named Dimension. However some of them (in that
particular example one) is drawn wrong: the box is on the right spot, but
the label seems to be at 0,0. It seems to happen whenever the boxes are
drawn from within a loop - at least all of my problems with boxes show
similar symptoms and only occur within loops.
Any ideas what goes wrong here?\startMPinclusions
