To that end... can anyone enlighten me (and other list members) on any of these points: (a) Would Joaquín Ataz-López want to retain editorial control? (b) If not, (i) Is he ok with other people updating and extending this work? (ii) Would he prefer a document with a (slightly?) changed name to avoid confusion? (iii) Would we need one or more people in charge of accepting changes, or does anyone think that it would work if some (carefully curated?) selection of contributors were write access to the repository? (c) How can the ConTeXt community get this ball rolling? Cheers.
