However, think of someone who has never heard of ConTeXt before but has been persuaded by a friend or colleague to give it a try. Perhaps they've been given a template document for a thesis to start from. If this person has a Mac they'll probably want to download some disk image, have ConTeXt deployed on their machine by the Apple installer program, fire up TeXShop and start writing their thesis with ConTeXt right away. This is what I'd consider the average user. With the current minimals this is impossible ...
hm, i really had it up and running on the mac pretty fast in texshop but since my mac is permantly broken i cannot test it right now
Well, you're an IT pro ... that makes all the difference ;-)
i'm a complete mac-dummy so for me it was a matter of: - unzip a minimal - make sure that texshop intializes that tree btw, there will me a cross platform 'texshop' variant (tug funded project) and at some point we need to get context support in there Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
