User page of Esteis; my real name is Sietse Brouwer, e-mail address sbbrouwer@—gmail—.com. Quite experienced with ConTeXt by now, especially from filling in lots of command reference pages over at Category:Commands.
Contents
TODO
- Tell people that {{cmd|startnarrower|[left]}} --> \startnarrower[left] is now possible.
- Make {{cmdstop|narrower}} that displays as {{cmd|stopnarrower}}, but links to {{cmd|startnarrower}}
- Wiki entries on general
key=value
keys (well, the links to the entries):- are at
[[Command/keyword:style]]
(ugly) - should be at
[[KeyValue/style]]
(better)
- are at
A design for this wiki
What sort of pages do we have on here?
- Command documentation (\startitemize, \setupnarrower
- Description of mechanisms (heads, captions, itemize, floats, etc.)
- Howto instructions (How to install ConTeXt, how to use text editor X with ConTeXt)
- Snippet collections (make a framebox without borders)
- Example style files
- Description of mechanisms which contains a great many miscellaneous examples (e.g. Quotes).
- MkII examples
- MkIV examples
- Bug workarounds
I think the topics, first of all, should get Navboxes. Example from Wikipedia: France navbox, Navbox template. They can be used to bind together...
- The commands
- The mechanism description pages
- The example style files
- The 'how to do X' snippers
...that are to do with a topic.
Why do people come here?
- Getting started
- What is ConTeXt?
- I want to install ConTeXt
- How can I get started on ConTeXt?
- What documentation is available?
- Reference pages
- I know a command, and want to look up what it does
- I know what structure I want, and want to look up how to do it
- I want more information on a mechanism.
- Development
- I want to report a bug
- I want to learn how to code a command in a ConTeXtic manner (Optional number of arguments, key-value lists, \start...\stop, etc.)
- I want to learn how to read the source code
- I want to join development
- I want to learn about ConTeXts social events (TUG meetings, etc.)
- How to edit the wiki itself
- I want to make/edit a command page
Next actions
- Navboxes
- A way to store examples/snippets. Taggable and searchable.
- Get all those examples/snippets out of the article pages.
- Redesign the Main Page, with a link to the village pump
- Work out jumpoff pages for "Why do people come here", and put those on the Main Page
