+\startchapter[title={Introduction}]
+
+During the development of \LUATEX\ we wrapped up the state of affairs in articles
+and reports. Upto version 0.50 we tagged them as \quote {\MKIV} (the transition
+from \MKII), while for the next 0.25 versions we bundled them in \quote {hybrid}
+(the rewrite of \CONTEXT). The next series goes under the name \type {about} as
+one might wonder what all this \LUATEX\ and \CONTEXT\ is about. After all we've
+now reached a state where we can think about future applications instead of
+improving older features as that process is ongoing.
+
+As we're a bit beyond experimenting now, the focus will be on practical usage and
+of course we target on applications that the \LUA\ and \TEX\ combination makes
+possible, either new or in a renewed form. Some of the chapters will eventually
+become part of manuals.
+
+As with the two preceding collections of \LUATEX\ development stories, \quote
+{mk} and \quote {hybrid}, this one, called \quote {about}, covers a stretch of
+development, mostly between versions 0.50 and 0.75. The forth stretch, upto 1.00
+is covered in \quote {still}.
