Some unstructured thoughts on this wiki's direction.
** are at {{code|<nowiki>[[Command/keyword:style]]</nowiki>}} (ugly)
** should be at {{code|<nowiki>[[KeyValue/style]]</nowiki>}} (better)
== A design for this wiki ==
=== What sort of pages do we have on here? ===
* Command documentation ({{cmd|startitemize}}, {{cmd|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: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:France_topics France navbox], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template: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"
== Page template: Command reference ==
