I am very much a ConTeXt beginner and so I don't feel capable of reading 
the documentation to find ConTeXt-related errors or omissions.  However, 
I would be glad to help by looking for typos, spelling errors, etc. 
(Actually, I rarely find spelling errors in the documentation but 
sometimes I see phrasing and grammar that isn't wrong, but "sounds 
funny" to a native English speaker.)

Due to a long commute on the train I find myself with plenty of time for 
reading, so I'd be glad to help in any way I can.  I am sorry that you 
have felt unsupported in your efforts to update the documentation; I am 
one of the users who (silently) wishes for more up to date documents but 
has done nothing to help.

I will start with these.

Perhaps someone who is able to compile the manual could upload pdf copies?

Thanks for all your work on ConTeXt, Taco (and Hans of course, along 
with Aditya, Wolfgang, et al.)
