Hello,
Here's a suggestion from Hans ... The idea about including some sample documents when installing minimals sounds OK to me, but I would add some "my first document"-like files to warm up the users, and maybe some more files for testing. In that case it would make sense to have some repository with files somewhere. Include test files in minimals sounds useful, but hard to maintain. You/we may verify than they: a) work b) work with pdftex engine c) work with xetex engine ..... unless we include trivial files, but that sounds useless. A wiki page 'download test files' can be better maintained/improved by users.
Instead, what you think about a repository with tested working typescripts? A lot of messages in list are fonts-related. We could create a page with: fontname, license, url, url-typescript-download.
You just gave me some ideas, but maybe the discussion should move to ntg-context. If I "forget" to write something about that to the main list within two weeks, please remind me. My idea would be to: - add a --test and --demo switch to mtx-update - it would sync some repository that we or users can create (but there should be one moderator) - one would also need to add some rules for building files (lua tables): some test files only make sense for luatex, some only for pdftex, some *should* fail - one could take a look at what Sanjoy did a while ago and check what's on the current test repository - demo would be for newbies to give them some short examples & ideas where to start - test could include a short and an extensive test suite to check if everything still works fine Mojca PS: sorry, sent twice since I forgot to add the mailing list to the list of recipients
