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.
I have created a page for errata in the ConTeXt-EN manual, here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXtEN_Errata The relevant ins and outs of Wikidom should be fairly straightforward -- to add an erratum, click on the "edit" link at the top of the page, and then add your erratum in the edit window (at this point, you should be able to simply duplicate the formatting of an existing item, without needing to know anything else), and click submit. As you note, it's useful to post here about the errata one discovers, so that people know of them (and also so that they can be discussed -- perhaps an erratum is itself in error!). My suggestion would be to post everything here, and include a note as to whether it has or has not been added to the Wiki page. If it hasn't been added, someone will surely add it. The three errata mentioned in this thread are on the page; I'll go back and see what else I find in the archives. - Brooks P.S. I think there should be a page for Errata in general, linked from the front page of the Wiki. (Or, else, the "Bugs and Workarounds" page should be changed to be "Bugs, Workarounds, and Errata") However, I don't have access to the front page of the Wiki to change that; can someone who has access do that?
