I am absolutely gobsmacked (astounded, astonished) at some of the
comments on this and other threads!
"ConTeXt - an Excursion" and "ConTeXt the Manual" together are
wonderful. I still consult them at least once a week
after 4 year's use. If you actually tried the examples in the
former, rather than just reading them, you
would be an expert user within 2 days!
Hear hear! I couldn't agree more and am happy that a voice of
reason appears in this somewhat meandering thread!
Indeed! I would sign this myself!
It would be nice to think that the community could construct
documentation, but good, coherent documentation
is much harder to produce than good code! It works for collections
of small articles (WikiPedia etc), but
I've never seen a good book written by a community.
also +1 Wasn't there this wonderful saying that a camel is a horse
designed by committee?
