I would like to start using ConText to create a scientific presentation 
poster to be printed in A0 or smaller size
A single sheet of pubblication in which text and figures with captions, 
can be framed and putted on the page in row and colum, equally 
distibuted or not.
A loose layout example can be the attaced one.

Any hint on where to find an howto guide, a template or a beginner 
document to start from?

How ConText is suited for the purpose and popular for this goal?

Regards.
