Koma-script is a LaTeX class family better suited for european eyes and 
paper formats.  It's outstanding feature is the calculation of the typing 
area with a algorithm suggested by Jan Tschichold.  But there are other 
nice features that makes this classes superior to their LaTeX equivalents 
that they are coming from.

As far as I understand ConTeXt (and their still is a long way to go) in 
contrast to LaTeX:  It is a far better plain-TeX with many modern features 
but lacks the ready to go document classes that was the main purpose for 
LaTeX.  So in ConTeXt you are able to do a lot more things far more easyly 
than with LaTeX but you have to do it yourself.  With LaTeX you can write 
an article without thinking about layout -- and it looks good (but if you 
want to tweak it a little bit ...)

So I thought about converting some of the LaTeX classes to context with 
respect to the layout.  Because every now and then I suggested ConTeXt to 
people searching for a better alternative to word (not that difficult ;-))
