The Manual general/manuals/cont-enp.pdfgeneral/manuals/cont-eni.pdf
It's in the details general/manuals/details.pdf
i) when are the manuals going to be updated? ii) details.pdf looks very interesting, i assume it's not finished right? any status info?
later this year taco and i will have a go at it; some things are simpler nwo (esp fonts, since we have gyre and latin modern)
2. CONTEXT MkII & MkIV general/manuals/mk.pdf
i've slightly confused as to what LuaTeX is, could someone please explain it. from what i've gathered it seems like it supports the use of OpenType fonts natively like XeTex and it's going to be merged into pdfTeX?
luatex is the follow up on pdftex and eventually permits us to go way beyond what now can be done
3. Fonts general/manuals/mfonts.pdf and general/manuals/mtexfont.pdf
Is is worth reading these manual since LuaTeX---as i've understood---is going to support them natively and i'm never going to have to install fonts again?
less important now, also because we have the tex gyre fonts (unless you use commercial fonts in combination with pdftex)
4. Typographic Programming general/manuals/style.pdf
Any idea when the final release of this document is due, i'd like to make a print out. no time now, but at some point i'll pick up that thread
5. Is there a book on ConTeXt, that is available for purchase from somewhere like amazon. if not does anyone know of a good (and cheap) printshop in London? I'd like to print out the manuals.
no book (yet)
6. I forgot to ask, is there anything written about bibliography support? preferably through BibTeX.
