I have tried posting questions once or twice and I never got a single answer. The result is that, now, I do not post them here any more.

Just try again and don't take it personally. That's what I've done for years. As a last resort, write Hans, Taco or whoever is most relevant to your question directly and say, "I've posted this to the list a couple of times and have not goten an answer yet. Could you take a look?"

Key: politeness and persistence :-)

The developers are very busy, well, developing. Be patient with them.

The flow of development/"high level" messages (that I do not understand) is important, too important for me to see and possibly try to answer most end-users questions. Perhaps it would be time to split this mailing-list in 2 parts, one really for users and the other for developpers, beta testers, package programmers, etc.

That has already been done ;-) But understand that ConTeXt is a HUGE system, and hardly anyone understands it all.

Of course, the drawback of doing this is that the gurus will not be interested in following the users' list and will be kept busy with other lists, so they will not be present to enlighten beginners.

In my experience this is simply not the case. One could create at least one book out of, say, Wolfgang's answers to newbies and users in general [actually, that might not be such a bad idea].
