Support

The LuaTeX project is focussed on the engine and not on its application. This means that support by the team is limited to the core functionality. We publish on a regular basis in the journals of local user groups and attend user group conferences where we present progress. So, it makes sense to join a (local) user group!

Specific support is provided via mailing lists. There are two lists that relate directly to LuaTeX:

LuaTeX is a follow up on pdfTeX which has its own lists:

The developers list deals with generic features of LuaTeX, bugs, compilation on specific platforms and integration in distributions. The user list is more focused on generic applications and usage. For support related to macro packages there are other platforms.

If you are a LaTeX user you can consult lists of your local user group (or the pdfTeX user list which is rather focused on LaTeX.)

If you are a ConTeXt user, you can best use one of the following lists:

ConTeXt comes in two flavours: MkII (pdfTeX and XeTeX) and MkIV (LuaTeX) and as they share most functionality both are discussed on the mentioned lists.
