What is a well-defined module interface? You have \usemodule. A module is just any ConTeXt file for now. 2. You can use any ConTeXt code, why should a module be limited? 3. Distribution mechanism isn't there, but I'm sure Hans is quite willing to put up links on his ConTeXt page to 3rd party stuff. Perhaps a good idea, what do you think Hans? -- Groetjes, Berend. (-:
