I have created a page for errata in the ConTeXt-EN manual, here:
   http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXtEN_Errata

The relevant ins and outs of Wikidom should be fairly straightforward -- to 
add an erratum, click on the "edit" link at the top of the page, and then 
add your erratum in the edit window (at this point, you should be able to 
simply duplicate the formatting of an existing item, without needing to 
know anything else), and click submit.

As you note, it's useful to post here about the errata one discovers, so 
that people know of them (and also so that they can be discussed -- perhaps 
an erratum is itself in error!).  My suggestion would be to post everything 
here, and include a note as to whether it has or has not been added to the 
Wiki page.  If it hasn't been added, someone will surely add it.

The three errata mentioned in this thread are on the page; I'll go back and 
see what else I find in the archives.

P.S. I think there should be a page for Errata in general, linked from the 
front page of the Wiki.  (Or, else, the "Bugs and Workarounds" page should 
be changed to be "Bugs, Workarounds, and Errata")  However, I don't have 
access to the front page of the Wiki to change that; can someone who has 
access do that?
