[NTG-context] list of modules: need changes/testing/response

[Henning Hraban Ramm <texml@fiee.net>]

Hi all, esp. module authors!

I went through the list of modules on https://modules.contextgarden.net/ 
(dl/) and the list that controls module installation for “--script 
install-modules".

I removed all font-related modules from the list (not yet from the 
garden), since they’re probably all obsolete & outdated.
Consider publishing typescripts in the wiki.


The following modules don’t adhere to the necessary structure and need 
changes:
* t-handlecsv (2023, Pablo)
* metaducks (2021, Jairo)
* presvoz (2023, Pablo)
All of them have a name directory on top of the TDS (tex, doc).
If you used a git checkout URL, please try again, for me it worked today.


Several modules need testing if they still work and make sense.
If their authors are present, I’d appreciate a comment if we should keep 
them. I’d like to delete at least everything older than 10 years.

* grph-downsample.lua (2019) is known to fail in current LMTX
   (I hope for an integrated solution during the meeting.)
   t-degrade (2018) is AFAIK an older version of it – delete?

* high (2018) and pret-c (2018) are syntax highlighters.
   Are they better than the vim and scite modules?
   Does it make sense to keep/update them?

* karnaugh (2021, VicSanRoPe; probably OK, I just don’t understand it)
* t-account (2009, Wolfgang)
* t-algorithmic (2013, Wolfgang)
* t-animation (2013, Wolfgang)
* t-annotation (2013, Wolfgang)
* t-bnf (2006, Now)
* t-chromato (2008, Peter)
* t-construction-plan (2008, Peter)
* t-crossref (2016, Zenlima)
* t-cyrillicnumbers (2016, Philipp)
* t-fancybreak (2015, Wolfgang)
* t-french (2011, Peter)
* t-fullpage (2017, Wolfgang)
* t-gantt (2012, Adam)
* t-gm (2015, Luigi)
* t-gnuplot (2013, Mojca)
* t-greek (2013, Thomas – is this more than fonts?)
* t-gs (2015, Luigi)
* t-inifile (2008, Peter)
* t-layout (2007, Patrick)
* t-letterspace (2016, Philipp)
* t-mathsets (2011, Aditya)
* t-rst (2016, Philipp)
* t-rsteps (2006, David)
* t-simplebib (2016, Zenlima)
* t-taspresent (2008, Thomas – AFAIK an old version of simpleslides)
* t-title (2017, Wolfgang)
* t-transliterator (2021, Philipp)
* t-typearea (2008, Peter)
* t-visualcounter (2018, Aditya, isn’t there a newer version?)

Modules not mentioned are probably fine.
