Hi,

Missing the wiki-only search feature though.

OK, you're number two. I'll think about it.

Here's why Patrick: a wiki being a source of documentation, that's where I look for next when not finding something in the paper manuals and texshow. If I don't find it there, digging deeper through the mailing archive is useful. Having everything mixed up through one google search blurb is oftentimes confusing due to the lack of structure.

You can choose to only search the wiki pages with google.

- A clearly visible (colored ?) banner or link on top of the main page saying something like "If you're new to ConTeXt, click here to get started fast..." which redirects to the main page "Getting Started section" might be useful.

- http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals The Minimals are an attempt to provide the same functionality as the current Pragma's minimal ConTeXt distributions in the zip files. Etc...

This is quite confusing for a newbie: "If I install the ConTeXt Minimals, what will I be missing what's in the Pragma's minimal distribution ?"

Hans has updated the zips on Pragma recently, so I'm not so sure any more what's still missing.

Better might be to say something like: "In order to provide you the easiest and most current ConTeXt installation and updates, the ConTeXt Minimals are the recommended installation", or whatever else is currently most relevant.

They still don't work quite the way I would like them to work. Mojca
