You just gave me some ideas, but maybe the discussion should move to ntg-context. If I "forget" to write something about that to the main list within two weeks, please remind me. My idea would be to: - add a --test and --demo switch to mtx-update - it would sync some repository that we or users can create (but there should be one moderator) - one would also need to add some rules for building files (lua tables): some test files only make sense for luatex, some only for pdftex, some *should* fail - one could take a look at what Sanjoy did a while ago and check what's on the current test repository - demo would be for newbies to give them some short examples & ideas where to start - test could include a short and an extensive test suite to check if everything still works fine Mojca PS: sorry, sent twice since I forgot to add the mailing list to the list of recipients _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~context Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~context More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
