Dude, you need a social life! :-)

a *what*?

implementing these things, so I am a bit scared to make comments.

I am glad you gave me some comments.

Still... I'm not sure how you handle versioning at the moment (it would be nice if the database/fs could store older versions of stuff as well),

OK, versioning should be easy. I'll store archives like t-layout-2004.12.24.zip (<prefix>-<version>.zip).

and it makes sense to allow/create downloads of "TDS-ed" zip files for easy installation.

There are some design decisions to be made: a simple module would consist of t-foo.tex and foobar.pdf as a documentation. This can be stored directly in the tds way. But there are more complicated modules that have stuff in texmf/.... and also some scripts/whatever. So I currenty opt for simple module: -------------- t-layout-....zip: texmf/tex/context//t-layout.tex texmf/doc/context//t-layout.pdf so the user can unzip it on a texmf dir. complex module: --------------- t-greek-....zip texmf.zip texmf/lots of stuff perlscripts/ myperlscript.pl otherthings/ don'taskme documentation.txt So it the texmf part can be used for installing the tex stuff. I know that the other files will probably fit in the tds, but the user might not be able to find the necessary scripts in texmf/script/... I also want to be able to share the modules between garden and CTAN. Thank you for your valuable comments, Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net
