1. the aleph list is going to be low-traffic; 2. eomega (soon-to-be-Aleph) is geared towards multidirectional/ TeX (CJK, Arabic, Hebrew, etc.);
The aleph list may be able to serve as an appropriate place for many questions related to multidirectional or multilingual typesetting under ConTeXt, if it seems that the regular ConTeXt list is getting clogged. Put another way, these two lists will probably suffice. For example, some of u mentioned a possible CJK module for e-Omega; details of that might seem appropriate for the aleph list. As Arabic, Hebrew, and CJK modules are built for ConTeXt the aleph list may come in handy to share and/or consolidate ideas, with a view to helping the future multilingual development of ConTeXt remain consistent.
I like the idea, especially since Hans is *very* likely to follow the Aleph list (I mean, is there a TeX-related mailing list he doesn't follow? <g>) I'll wait a little to see if Willi Egger sees the request, then I'll send him a private message to ask for the creation of the mailing list. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
