poster in context

[Jan Pohanka]

Hello,
I wonder how to create a poster presentation using ConTeXt.
It should have following layout.
  _____________________
|   title, ...        |
  _____________________
|                     |
|                     |
|  text in 3 columns  |
|  with titles etc.   |
|                     |
  _____________________
|  acknowledgement    |
  _____________________

Is there any way to fix the height of the depicted areas? Now I use  
columnset for the main text. Maybe layers can be useful?

regards
Jan

Something like the posters (links to pdf files) on
    http://mara.pef.upr.si/mars2006/projekti.html
?

I can send you the source code if that is what you want (but I do not
guarantee that the layout still works).

Please write me off-list (apart from those who have already asked).
I would need to clean up the code before publishing it.

Below is the sort of scheme that I used about one year ago.
Here, it is for A0 landscape, thus 6 columns.
I also play a lot with \collectedtext

I would/might do a bit better today, having learnt more about ConTeXt.
