place for feature requests / todo list
Hello, is there already some place, where feature requests are collected and/or a todo list? Perhaps something like bugzilla but simpler? If not, what do you think about a page on the wiki? TIA for your opinions, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
Hi Peter, ATM, the best place to discuss wishes is here, on the list. There is no global wish-list, only the personal todo lists of the people that have agreed to implement various things "sometime". The Wiki is just a bit too disorganized, I doubt any requests posted there would get picked up. In the past, there has been some talk about putting context into some sort of repository (gforge/subversion) and using the associated tracking features, but when/if this will happen is not clear. The portal effort by Michael Guravage appears to be abandoned. Greetings, Taco Peter Münster wrote:

Hello Taco, the problem with the list is, that often you don't really know at the end of a thread, what is going to be done or not. Just as an example, there has been a discussion¹ about repeated footers in TABLE, but at the end I don't know, if it's possible or not. Perhaps, a table like this (just an example) would be nice somewhere: Feature request Comment -------------------------------------------------------------------------- repeated footers in TABLE not possible documentation for linetable scheduled for 2007 support for urw-garamond can be done by any volunteer xxx in next version yyy see elsewhere (link to another page)

I'm working with subversion and recommend it strongly. Especially for you, there would be a great advantage: the automatic generation of a ChangeLog (if the developers comment their commits).

i will set up a subversion archive (context/manuals) soon on an internal server which is accessisble then for dev. (but i'm not sure if i will comment comment each commit, too busy with other things for that -) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Hans, 3 or 4 words are often enough and very very useful when tracing the logs. For example: - speed-up with \setupXXX - bug-fix with texexec-enginepath - new file core-xxx.tex - removed s-pre-1234.tex Greetings and happy subversioning! Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

could be a wiki page; at least that way we collect things

indeed -) [i will look into gforce once i've seen it working which will happen soon]

We are discussing this now, and hope to come up with a solution soon. Taco
