I would be happy for the front page to be restricted - shouldn't change so often anyway. Otherwise is there a possibility of having one of those human-only registration forms which requires typing the contents of a graphic, to stop the bots? I don't know how that might be implemented though. --[[User:Duncan|Duncan]] 12:23, 5 May 2005 (CEST)

Mojca recently asked (in the changelog) for comments on the reorganization of the [[Main Page]].  It looks quite good to me, overall.  The "how to edit a Wiki page" should probably link to the existing [[Help:Editing]] page, or perhaps directly to MediaWiki's Help:Editing page.

I do think a couple of the section headings should be changed.  "Tips, Tricks, and Hacks" is becoming a storehouse of actual documentation as well as just small "tricks", and the name should reflect that: something like "ConTeXt Documentation and How-To", maybe.  "Help & Guidelines" should be "Wiki Help & Guidelines", so as to distinguish it from "ConTeXt help".

This is not the place to ask general questions about ConTeXt.  If you have a longer question, the best thing to do with it is create a new page (see [[Help:Editing]] for how to do that) with a description of the problem, and put the special text <code><nowiki>{{howto}}</nowiki></code> in it, which will cause it to be listed on the [[Category:How to]] page.  If you have a short question that is appropriate for the [[FAQ]], you can add it there, and leave the answer blank.  If you have a question that you wish to discuss, the best place for that is the [http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context ConTeXt mailing list] or the "Discussion" page associated with a particularly relevant Wiki page, though you can also use the [[Talk:FAQ|FAQ's "Talk" page]] if there's not an obvious choice.

It may also be useful to put "short explanations" next to the links, much as I've been doing in the [[From LaTeX to ConTeXt]] page.

General ConTeXt Questions

This is not the place to ask general questions about ConTeXt. If you have a longer question, the best thing to do with it is create a new page (see Help:Editing for how to do that) with a description of the problem, and put the special text {{howto}} in it, which will cause it to be listed on the page. If you have a short question that is appropriate for the FAQ, you can add it there, and leave the answer blank. If you have a question that you wish to discuss, the best place for that is the ConTeXt mailing list or the "Discussion" page associated with a particularly relevant Wiki page, though you can also use the FAQ's "Talk" page if there's not an obvious choice.

History
