texshow-web overhaul

I am currently editing texshow-web (aka references). There has been a lot (!) of spam. Now you need to login with your wiki-password in order to edit pages. I hope that texshow-web will be useful once again.

spam on the mailing list archive

The mailing list seems to be down at the moment. If you’ve visited the mailing list archive these days, you have probably noticed a lot of spam that has been sent to archive <at> contextgarden.net. I have removed the spam from 2009 from the archive and installed spam protection. Hopefully this archive will stay clean now.

Now finally – the new server

Within the next 24 hours contextgarden.net will be on a new machine. Expect some broken things. If things keep being broken after one day from now, I’d be happy to receive bug reports. Warning: this also affects the update of the distribution (formally known as the “minimals”). I’ll put a page on the wiki where I list the status of the transition: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/New_Server (not there yet) Thanks for your patience!

New server

I will be moving the garden to a new server this weekend. You probably didn’t notice it, but the 20 gig harddrive is full, so we need more space for all the great ConTeXt related files. 

Let’s keep our fingers crossed that everything works out fine. Please tell us (gardeners at contextgarden.net) if you find anything that is broken. Thanks!

New Homepage on the wiki

Aditya has reorganized the home page of the wiki, and I like it a lot. It looks more structured and I am sure that the users will be happy with that change. So if you have any comments, please post them on the mailing list or to this post.

Yet another logo suggestion – what do you think?

There is yet another suggestion by Taco H., just comment on it!

 

New logo suggestion

After a long night and lots of work we came up with a new logo for context. What do you think of it?

News from the ConTeXt meeting

We are having a good time at the context meeting in Bohinj, Slovenia! Besides the talks you can find on the webpage, we have other interesting talks and event:

• Discussion about distributing context
• Excursion to a technical museum (we’ve made a TeX glyph) and a very impressive cave
• An attempt to design a (new) logo for context
• All kinds of discussions while sitting at a bonfire

To put it in two words, the meeting is “just great”.

Server maintenance

The server is currently down due to a RAM replacement. It will be back up in a few minutes.

updates coming soon

Behind the scenes: texshow

Mojca and I are currently working on update of texshow(-web). More attractive and less spam. The current texshow-web is
not good at keeping up to date with changes to the source file ‘cont-en.xml’ (and its ilk). We are planning to change that, too.
