Integration of all the information around ConTeXt
Hello, with the help of ConTeXt and the ConTeXt-Mailinglist I successfully have generated a book which will be printed next week :-) Thankl you - everyone! And now I would like to give something back to ConTeXt :-) There is a lot of information around ConTeXt: Material of Hans Hagen, this very dynamic Mailinglist/Forum, the command-reference-list of Wolfgang Schuster and the Contextgarden-Wiki. I think the best what I can do for ConTeXt is helping to structure, organize and integrating the huge amount of existing information. And the wiki ist a very good place to do al this work. Since several years I am running an own wiki with mediawiki. After informing Hans, Taco and Mojca Miklavec, I no have started, to rename all the commands from reference/en/... to command/... The .htaccess takes care, that all the old names will be forwarded to the new names. Then I have build a startting-category: "ConTeXt" and every subcategory is a branch of it. So we have a tree with all the wiki-information starting at "ConTeXt". You can find this startingpoint on http://www.contextgarden.net on the right side: Categories. I have started to organize the sub-categories ... but everyone who likes ConTeXt is invited to improve the wiki. A very good help would be: All the commands of context (more than 500) are in one huge category:commands For the users it would be usefull to build subcategories for the commands. 1. login (or first register on contextgarden.net) 2. Go to a command, e.g. command/about: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/about 3. Click on edit (top of page) 4. go to the bottom of the source-code 5. add to [[category:Commands]] [[category:xxx]] xxx = new name or existing name 6. save the changes 7. now you can see the category at the bottom of the page. 8. if it is red - click on it 9. then write [[category:commands]] to link it to the tree, I hope lot's of you help at least a little bit ... it's fun :-) And it's for ConTeXt. Regards Jannis
At step 5 (see below) please delete [[category:Commands]] But only when you write a new category. And I just got the proof for my book ... it looks great!!!!!
