Thank you for the message and for the interest in the *ANSS* . Regarding
the points raised:
*
*Editorial control and updates:* I have no problem with the
community updating and extending the work. I believe the best way to
ensure its continuity is to make it a collective project.
*
*Naming:* I agree that a slight change in the name (perhaps adding
'Community Edition' or similar) would be useful to avoid confusion
with the original versions.
*
*Management:* I think it would be wise to have a small group of
coordinators to oversee the changes, although giving write access to
a selection of trusted contributors is a great way to keep the
project dynamic.
I am excited to see how the community takes this project forward.
Best regards,
Joaquín"

Congratulations again for the new book. May its high sales require (at
least, English and Spanish) translations,
Hear, hear!
I have ideas for an English/international edition that I’d like to discuss
(in a new thread); the current edition is quite German-centered, there are
things that don’t apply to most other countries/languages, and it would be
necessary to include more international options; let’s discuss which other
languages make sense (would that be European Spanish or one of the American
ones?), I couldn’t help with any.
A much lower hanging fruit would be updating and extending the “not so short
introduction”,

While I can't comment on whether updating ANSS would be a lower-hanging
fruit than an English edition of your book,
(1) I hear that all of a sudden you have lots of time on your hands. :-)
(2) I agree that updating and extending ANSS would be a worthwhile project.
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.
Jim
