You could maintain a micro-page on the wiki which just allows users to find your great document. The aim is for anybody to easely find your document from the wiki. The problem is to not forgot to update the wiki if you change the location of your main page!

I agree with you that such a distribution would be a great thing to have, but unless some people are actually willing to invest (a fairly large amount of time) in it, it is simply not going to happen. Hum, I thought it would be possible to just change the name of the environment variable used be the kpsea system. But if these names are hard coded, perhaps it is still possible to patch the source for all the external tools used by context and relying on kpathsea. I suppose that Hans could do a "contextize" perl script which automatise this transformation from the standard tools archives. I have started a project last spring, whose goal is to deliver almost precisely a "standalone, fast and idiot-proof distribution of ConTeXt", but it has been a one person affair so far, and I do not have unlimited time to spend on it. Anyway, have a look at http://www.metatex.org Woaow! This is very ambitious ! You are redoing the full tex envirenment! If you realy want to do that, you should: - first create a contributing information system (as the wiki context :-) - create an open source project on sourceforge or something like that, (this mean mailing lists, cvs access, ...) - and then call for a partitipation on comp.text.tex group. I sure there is several TeX guru interested. This project is much more that what I asked for!

Actually there has been something like that for a long time -) - when a new tex live comes out, i remove my old texmf tree and copy the texlive one to my disk (ok, for the next one i need to copy both texmf and texmf-dist to texmf on my disk) A new standard tex dist is always relatively easy to install (tetex or texlive)... - this will then include a version of context ... And there is a (old) version of context include. But it is that way I'm using context today. So far so good. And I can personnalised my LaTeX distribution by using the HOMETEXMF environment variable. - alongside i keep texmf-local and a few more (which has the beta context and such) My problem (as a NOT guru xyzTeX administrator !) is precisely that I have trouble in using a separate cont-tmf distribution in my own tex tree (trouble with creating the formats). i suppose I have to more investigate in this direction. What I'm looking for, is a mean to use: - my one cont-tmf uptodate tree, possibly with some "near standard" contrib addition (read "soon to be include in the standard Context distrib" e.g. t-bib, t-nath ;-) - some personnal environnement variables (HOMETEXMF, or better: CONTEXT_HOME) togother with any ***full standard LaTeX distribution*** wich I haven't installed myself on a workstation I don't administre myself (read "in hostile environment" :-). I only master my home directory. If I have to modify the texlive distribution (or a configuration file from). Then it is no more a standard texlive distrib. So the two possibilities I envisage are: 1 - managing a separate context tree package in an hostile environment (the prefered solution if robust) 2 - manage a separate full context system. It's probable the easier way to go. And for less than 100 Mbytes it is no much more heavy than the simple con-tmf plus the format. Also, if I can do a multiplatform (powerpc-darwin, x86-linux, ...) non intrusive (with concurrent LaTeX distribution), I'll can make it installed everywere (around me). I have yet to solve some confict in my environnement (because for sample the context-live setup **cleer** all environment variable which concerne LaTeX, kpath, and other HOMETEXMF variable. This second item was the main objective of this thread "Now is the time..". I think the work is almost done with the minimal context-live distribution. It need just some setup adjust. if you do rsync -v www.pragma-pod.com:: you will get all the trees that you can download This doen't work at work because of a firewall. I tried to use the option "-e ssh" which could work if you had a secure shell demond enabled. But it doesn't seem to! The a try this night at home (with free.fr) rsync -av www.pragma-pod.com::all pragma-context-all And it worked! (590 Moctets) So this week-end, I have to retry to solve the setup problems. because i seperate things in trees, there is no danger in clashes with existing stuff; also, the setup scripts set all variables in a defensive way, so that there will be no clash with other distributions (that way i can also keep several project trees with older context versions available); It a defensive way for ConTeXt user, not for LaTeX user. the reason for using architectre paths is that it permits me to have out of sync binaries which means different pool files and formats) \startLaughingMode I agree that multi-architecture is needed, but the problem with P.C users is that there is only two architecture in the world (;-) 1 - Windows 2 - the others The most advanced pc users know also about "linux" and even "linux-64" but an architecture is a combination between some hard (sparc, powerpc, x86, 64-x86) and some "operating system" (linux, bsd, sunos, cygwin, darwin, ) This principle is very flexible, and support even "inoperating system' (dos, dos++, windose95, windose95.2, macosClone, ...) \stopLaughingMode The best way to get an idea on how to deal which multi-architecture is to look at the config.guess and config.sub from gnu configure system (which seems used by the texlive distribution). Context need not support all the architecture combination, but should support the standard architecture system. Here are some examples of a binary tree: alpha-linux i386-linux i386-openbsd -> i386-openbsd3.3 i386-openbsd3.3 powerpc-aix -> powerpc-aix4.3.3.0 powerpc-aix4.3.3.0 powerpc-darwin -> powerpc-darwin6.6 powerpc-darwin6.6 sparc-solaris -> sparc-solaris2.7 sparc-solaris2.7 sparc64-linux win32 win32-static I have a script I use for shoosing between a few architecture.

[NTG-context] inserting other pdf's
Hi, I want to Know if it's possible to add others pdf files to a former one resulting from a ConteXt compilation. It's because I make technical drawings with Autocad wich are printed (at the right scale !) to a pdf file (By Distiller or Amunyi converter), and I want those in more general (text+drawings) documents. One solution is openoffice, but it's not the right place! Thanks a lot, olivier Turlier ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Figures enlargement
Hi, Now I'm trapped in ConTeXt, I wish to reproduce a nice feature : when we mouse clic on a small (ex: 0.25\textwidth) picture, this one gets bigger (ex : 1\textwidth).
