Hi Berend,

well, given the sun, i only had to sweat a bit:
% output=pdftex
\setuplist
[section]
[style=boldslanted,
align=left,
interaction=all,
symbol=1,
width=1em,
pagenumber=no,
before=,
after=]
\setuphead
[chapter]
[header=empty,
style=BigHeadFont,
alternative=command,
command=\ContentsHead,
page=right,
after={\blank[2*big]}]
\definefont[BigHeadFont][Serif at 36pt]
\def\ContentsHead#1#2%
{%\setupframed[frame=off]
\framed[width=\hsize,offset=overlay]
{\placesidebyside
{\doifelsenothing{#1}
{\framed[width=.6\hsize]{}} % dummy
{\framed
[width=.6\hsize,offset=1em,strut=no,align=right,background=screen]
{In this chapter: \blank
\placelist[section][criterium=chapter]}}}
{\framed
[width=.4\hsize,offset=1em,strut=no,align=left]
{#1\par#2}}}}
\starttext
\title {Berend}
\chapter {Berend}
\section {Botje}
\section {Botje}
\section {Botje}
\stoptext
Makes a nice example for the example suite
