9This is a collection of articles and wrap|-|ups that don't suit in other manuals
10or collections. Some are published, some meant as draft for a presentation.

12The \quotation {Children of \TEX} article is the framework for a presentation at
13Bacho\TEX\ 2017 in Poland, and covers the main theme of the conference. In the
14aftermath of that conference I wrote \quotation {Advertising \TEX} and later
15\quotation {Why use \TEX?}. The 2018 Bacho\TEX\ conference theme is explored in
16\quotation {What’s to stay, what’s to go}. After a short discussion on the
17\CONTEXT\ mailing list about stability (at the moment that \MKII\ had been frozen
18for more than a decade but is still used without problems) I wrote \quotation
19{Stability}.

21Many of the thoughts in these articles are influenced by discussions with my
22colleagues Ton Otten and Kees van Marle, users and developers. Operating in a
23similar arena, they provide me the reflection needed to sort out my thoughts on
24these matters.

26The order in this document is not chronological. In the meantime we also put some
27development related stories in this collection, just because they have to fit in
28somewhere.

30Not all musings are checked and copy|-|edited so let me know if there are errors
31and typos in them.
