> Not really stopped, rather dormant. The main reasons are: > - Context moves so much, and my system is so screwed up, that I cannot > update to a recent context release. > - There are very few users interested by dbcontext and then few bug > reports or update demands. > - There are some big fishes asking for latex solutions (gimp, kde docs). > - Few users are ready to switch from latex to context, at least because of > install troubles and dependencies. > - I can hardly convince people to use context if the context version > suggested in the release note is not available from context site (it was > before the foundry museum). > > I still think context overclasses latex, but its systematic refactoring > and use of emergent/latest software have their drawbacks, for end users, > but for tools depending on it too. > > But I believe that with the new context versioning scheme, the debian and > Peter Munster packaging efforts, it can become more popular. Of course, I > need to update my machine too ;-) > Thank you very much.
