== structure ==
 
* move tikz from texmf-context to texmf
 
== mtx-update ==
 
* make the command <code>mtxrun --script update --update</code> work
* test system-wide installation
* more sensible rsync output (not so much verbose, but keep should show what will be removed and what will be updated)
* remove the --force switch and add dryrun with improved functionality (show what will be updated)
* maybe replace --context= with --branch=
* replace --extras= with --modules=
* accept --modules=tikz, not only --modules=t-tikz

== repositories ==
 
* set up a mirror at metatex.org
* offer others to set up a mirror

* --all switch to get all modules and all fonts
* add font metric files from cont-fnt.zip
* add Charis SIL
* fix mvs
* add the lua configuration file
* add tex4ht
* try to add asymptote
* try to add TeXworks (updated version)
* split old and obsolete (font) binaries to a separate package
* reorganize fonts into fonts/data/e-foundry/texgyre/<everything>
* add unzip for windows
 
== convince Hans ==
 
* support <code>texexec --make plain</code> for pdftex
 
== server-side ==
 
* organize repositories
* rewrite scripts to lua and back up regularly
== Other notes ==
We need to:
* create files <code>README</code> and <code>INSTALL</code>
* create a file <code>minimals.lua</code> (or some other self-explanatory name):
** <b>rsync location</b> (default: <code>rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals</code>, could be anything)
** fetch files with rsync
** create formats
** suggest what to put into <code>.bash_profile</code> (or equivalent locations) to have context initilized automatically
 == Rewrite this == We wanted to provide:* an easy to (no-need-to-)install ConTeXt distribution* a '''fast and convenient way to update ConTeXt and binaries to the latest version''' ''(no need to fetch 100 MB when only minimal modifications have been made in the distribution)''* a reference ConTeXt distribution* an easy way to revert to an older ConTeXt (in case the latest one is broken) We do not plan to provide:* LaTeX packages ''(perhaps the really-basic-latex as an add unzip -on package, but only if someone else has time to investigate what is needed)''* extensive support for whatever binaries or packages which are otherwise standard in TeX distributions: use TeX Live or MikTeX for windowsthat purpose [[Category:Standalone|TODO]][[Category:ToDo]]
