Of course, the site says its botches are context-free ;-)

Fortunately in my experience TeX conferences have a somewhat higher
subscription standard...

Why exactly? If it is just for the creation of sample documents:
SCIgen is a template-driven perl script that is open-source, so
creating a context backend would be easy (and fun).

Cheers, Taco

Sorry, missing some words ;
it should be
"it would be nice to have something in context to show on the wiki"
I'm sure that pdfs will be more beatiful, and we will have some
original examples to show on the wiki.

But there is already a mechanism to create fake documents, not so
nice as real fake text but usefull.

m-visual.tex

%D For Mojca:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \def\simplethesis
%D   {\setupsystem[random=1234]
%D    \title{\fakewords{3}{4}}
%D    \placelist[chapter,section]
%D    \dorecurse{6}

%D       \dorecurse{5}

In that case, just download the script, run it, and convert
the latex output to context manually?

Best wishes,
Taco

Again inaccurate, sorry.
I'm thinking something like
http://live.contextgarden.net/
One fill a form like
http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen
hit some a buttons,
and voila'
a nice pdf (and a virtual CS paper) .

Hmmm ... that's actually a really nice idea :)
If anyone is ready to port the code to ConTeXt, I promise to include
it into the source browser (or, in case that I happen to have too much
time ... but I doubt that anyone on my faculty would be willing to
accept a thesis like that one ... :).

I wanted to see the code, but the server they mention on their website
doesn't exist.

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.pdos.csail.mit.edu:/cvs co -P scigen
Unknown host cvs.pdos.csail.mit.edu

Actually as you all probably know, this website has been created by CS
students to demonstrate how serious some meetings are: they submitted
several papers created by their tools to the committee of a big meeting
in the US and one or two were accepted (it is about 3 or 4 years ago).

But why not invent for context something nicer than CS papers, love
letters for instance?

I second that. Or poetry perhaps. Random prophesies could be too 
dangerous to meddle with ;-)

Btw: there is

\usemodule[visual]
\starttext
  \simplethesis
\stoptext

but it's not nearly as advanced as the one you have pointed out :P
