User:Esteis

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.

• ConTeXt wiki cheat sheet

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)

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?

• I want to install ConTeXt
• 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 to report a bug
• I want to join development
• I want to learn about ConTeXts social events (TUG meetings, etc.)
• I'm looking for a manual or a book
• I want to learn how to add X to the wiki.
• I want to learn how to code X in ConTeXt

Next action

• Redesign the Main Page, with a link to the village pump
• Work out entry points for "Why do people come here"
