I'm just starting. there are some presentation styles in the distribution and some files for submission to TeX journal (ntg's maps), but other than that you are on your own for the moment. we are working on that, but it is not hard to design your own. have a look at the s-pre-* and s-map* things.

I'm guessing what your problem is (not enough information), but there was an obvious problem in my teTeX: the search path did not include the etex subdirectories while context uses pdfetex as a default. I now have these lines in texmf.cnf: TEXINPUTS.context =.;$TEXMF/{pdftex,etex,tex}/{context,plain,generic,}// TEXINPUTS.cont-nl =.;$TEXMF/{pdftex,etex,tex}/{context,plain,generic,}// TEXINPUTS.cont-en =.;$TEXMF/{pdftex,etex,tex}/{context,plain,generic,}// greetings, taco
