Hi John,
uncovered. It would be a kind of group errata sheet. To start the ball rolling here are my two annotations:
Please put them on the wiki. This would be an ideal place to collect these things.
Patrick In theory, yes. as practical matter one must first learn the wiki conventions, then establish a page or something for errata, and then let people know where to look/post, and then...
I use a brute force method. On my computer I have all the Context mailing list posts in a folder starting with February 2, 2004. I can search on a keyword. If the subject in every case contains "errata" then it is easy to assemble a listing of the pertinent posts. Looking to the future, if I see a post with "errata" in the subject line I can inspect it and mark up my manual. At that point I don't need the particular post any more. If instead we are to use the wiki, then someone (not me) needs to explain the ins and outs of wikidom, create a page etc. as outlined in my first paragraph. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf
