Dear Jean-Pierre Delange, it is true that I do not participate much in
the list, and that Garulfo's translation into French of “a not too short
introduction to ConTeXt” is very meritorious and provides very good
ideas. So much so that the authorship of this text should probably be
attributed jointly to him and to me, since there are ideas there that
are not in the original. But from there to erase me completely from the
authorship of the document, I think it is excessive.
Having said that, I agree that one of the problems for the expansion of
ConTeXt has to do with documentation. But it is a difficult problem to
solve, because the creativity of the main programmers is so much, that
it is very difficult to keep the documentation up to date.

Hi Hraban !
I agree with you on the diagnosis: the development of ConTeXt
documentation that incorporates the latest elements is primarily
concerned. It's true that many ideas never find their way to
implementation! I agree with most of your analysis, particularly with
regard to the desire to develop the ConTeXt documentation by
incorporating the latest elements. However, this is not impossible, as
shown by some recent contributions (such as 'A Not so Short
Introduction to ConTeXt' by Garulfo
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/contextgarden/not-so-short-introduction-to-context__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!QS51fl3hrXNUObDPGX3FhxEiydlLl1hYkyKnALi8ByTH5TnEwia3vGayujUgVIg96JgSmPUJ7-zepw$
), which is translated into 4 or 5 languages. Secondly, I am
personally interested (and this is the case of what we are discussing)
in translating something really developed and articulated, with
practical examples, from the simple to the complex. In particular,
something like a book that allows you to confront the various layout
problems, especially for the exercises (or practical cases with CTX).

Without burdening your shoulders with extra work, perhaps a

appropriate? What do you think?
Wait until you see it and if you really want to translate it.
I don’t really trust in promises any more esp. WRT to documentation.
What became of the “cookbook”? What happened to the other book projects?
Since nearly all other documentation is in English, my book is
already mostly an edited translation, and it doesn’t make sense to
translate it back.
Maybe just work on what is already public:
