I was playing with the ConTeXt more than 10 years ago, but lack of proper docs was always keeping me back from fully embracing it. Today after checking (again) I see that there are even some printed books and MkIV/LuaTeX seems to be quite stable, so I wonder about ConTeXt's capabilities to generate index/glossary in regard to xindy which is powerful, but I never really grokked it properly? Other typesetting features of ConTeXt are certainly very tempting and along with Emacs/AUCTeX everything looks as very pleasant typesetting environment. @John: I'm curios if you were able to prepare desired index *without* makeindex/xindy?
