I agree that there should be another list for e-Omega (Aleph) where we can discuss implementing multilingual code for ConTeXt, because I think it's a bit off-topic for the regular ConTeXt list. But on the other hand, I also support Hong Feng when he wants to create a mailing list just for the developers of the CJK package. Or maybe just a temporary list, just for organizational reasons. Also a reason is that it's not already sure if e-Omega is the best option for this (although after using Giuseppe's latest e-Omega version, I think it is the best option) and that the creation of the CJK module will need discussions that have nothing to do with e-Omega, like implementing CJK chapter headings, East Asian line breaking and numbering systems. Although some of these are ConTeXt related problems, it's a bit off-topic for the general ConTeXt list, but also off-topic for the e-Omega list. (Of course, when the developers of the CJK module decide to use e-Omega to implement their outcome of the discussions, they can use the e-Omega list) Anyway, these are my thoughts about it, and it's getting past my bedtime. I'm sure that someone can persuade me to think otherwise! :-) Sleep well, Tim _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
