Hello!

ConTeXt distribution is supposed to be complete document processing system (without the need for e.g. TeXLive) for those users using ConTeXt macro package.

One of the task to produce high-quality output is having appropriate index (and/or glossary).

However, makeindex is, afaik, not solution for International users using Unicode encoding and therefore new TeXLive-2008 (finally) includes Xindy.

Now I'm interested how is support for Xindy in ConTeXt and it there is any plan to ship it within ConTeXt distribution?

From the Xindy website: There is neither a xindy distribution for Windows nor for Mac OS X. We would like to have one, but nobody has done the port yet. That is a showstopper, I think. Best wishes, Taco

ConTeXt doesn't use makeindex, so I don't really understand your complaints about makeindex. What features exactly do you miss? (But please redirect the question to the ConTeXt list. It makes no sense to discuss distributing something before it can be used with ConTeXt.) Mojca
