I'm having great time in creating a(n academic) poster with ConTeXt. By the way, is there a way where the command is listed?

It is currently missing in the commanindex setup-en.pdf (and the neccesary file cont-en.xml). The best sources are only the sources if you want to know which options are available for every command.

True indeed. This is what I usually do to find out about an option. Search texwebshow for options. If it is there, read the manual for the description. If I do not find any relevant option, but know that ConTeXt ought to have an option for what I want (which usually means that it will), look in the sources. My strategy for searching the sources involves finding out which source file defines the option. (search on sources.contextgarden.net work for most cases, I use grep for the cases which are more trickier to find). Most (all?) commands come with an accompanying \setup command, which initiallizes all the options for the command. This way, one knows atleast which options a command will accept. In most cases guessing the functionality of an option is easy, as ConTeXt uses a consistent interface for everything. Sometimes, when I have no clue what that option does, I search where the option is used. Most options are stored using \getparameters[\??xx] where xx is a two letter abbreviation. Then you can search for \@@xxoption to see where it is used. That way, you can usually guess what an option does. The sources also have some examples that are usually useful in understanding a few tricks about the command. If I still can not figure out, I ask on the mailing list.
