There actually is something you (and everybody else) can do: provide feedback on the current version of the manual(s). For example, it would be nice to know whether there are errors or unclarities in it (or omissions, but that actually does require knowledge).
I am very much a ConTeXt beginner and so I don't feel capable of reading the documentation to find ConTeXt-related errors or omissions. However, I would be glad to help by looking for typos, spelling errors, etc. (Actually, I rarely find spelling errors in the documentation but sometimes I see phrasing and grammar that isn't wrong, but "sounds funny" to a native English speaker.) Due to a long commute on the train I find myself with plenty of time for reading, so I'd be glad to help in any way I can. I am sorry that you have felt unsupported in your efforts to update the documentation; I am one of the users who (silently) wishes for more up to date documents but has done nothing to help.
For an easy start, the two pdfs of the "typography" and "fonts" chapters are on-line:
http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-typography.... http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-fonts.pdf
I will start with these.
The other chapters are a bit harder to comment on because (currently) you have to be able to compile the manual yourself to read the pdfs.
Perhaps someone who is able to compile the manual could upload pdf copies?
Best wishes, Taco
Thanks for all your work on ConTeXt, Taco (and Hans of course, along with Aditya, Wolfgang, et al.) Rory
