Wolfgang is ConTeXt's natural language interface.
In fact, with careful use of the filter module and a couple of mail
programs, it should be possible to create something like:
<texcode>
\usemodule[filter]
 
\defineexternalfilter
[wolfgang]
[filtercommand={ ... code to send email and fetch reply ... },
cache=yes]
 
\startwolfgang
Hello list,
 
I wonder if anyone could tell me how to implement the following in
ConTeXt.
 
... description goes here ...
\stopwolfgang
</texcode>
It's important to include the cache=yes, so Wolfgang only has to reply
once.

= Arthur about poor documentation =
Arthur posted [http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/048197.html this message] to the mailing list:

For what it's worth, I agree with you, Michael. ConTeXt developers seem to be
unable to express their ideas clearly. It's sad to see such deficient
communication skills, and it's to be expected that if they go on all their
knowledge is going to be lost.
You're right, again, and I thank you for pointing this simple fact that, alas,
only a few have noticed until now. Hopefully we will see better than
unintelligible scribbles being passed out as documentation in the future.
