Perhaps we all should exchange annotations where there is a typo or other error we have uncovered. It would be a kind of group errata sheet.
Yes, this would be a very good idea - for example I bumped into the combination 'bug' so long ago that I'd already forgotten about it; but at a time I both knew that it existed and how to fix it, so it's kind of stupid that you had to stumble on the same problem. Here's a stupid one from the big manual in English; doesn't bother me, but would confuse a newcomer (and yes, I checked this one with the online version, it still exists): ------- on p. 241 every single example says \exernalfigure[blaa] instead of \externalfigure ^^^ -------- I think contextgarden/wiki seems like an ideal place where to put these (that way we also avoid duplicates). I'm not very familiar with the system and find it somewhat hard to navigate, but if somebody points me to the correct direction, I'll enter anything I find in the manuals... The beginner's manual has some 'interesting' errors, too, and I assume the Dutch versions have their problems too, so maybe a separate entry/page for each manual and language? Sometimes a simple typo causes lots of frustration, so I'm all for this suggestion! mari (...using ConteXt to write manuals, guaranteed to come with typos, sometimes in awkward places...)
