Dear list,
today, I have an announcement to make and a call for contributions. We
have obtained a medium-sized grant at my university to further
development of ConTeXt. Specifically, our project wants to facilitate
typesetting critical editions after the TEI xml standard and
bibliographical data. Luigi will be employed as a full-time developer
for the next 6 months (he signed his contract today); Hans will
coordinate the work flow.
So this is good news. Now for the call for contributions: we invite you
to send in examples in those two areas (critical editions, i.e.
linenotes cum suis, and bibliographical data, aka bib-module) which show
where ConTeXt could be developed. So please send examples to the list
that show limitations or bugs, ask for new features, etc. If you want
new features in the bibliography department, please do not send vague
requests ("it would be nice if we could have hungarian reference
systems") but small examples which show a precise feature and a possible
syntax for it.
Of course, I can't promise that we will be able to act on all your
submissions, but I'm optimistic that this project will make our favorite
software better!
All best
Thomas
