Ok, I don't have enough the habit of consulting documentation that is 
installed in my system. I have found something interesting here that 
could be helpfull to me : 
/usr/share/texmf/doc/context/base/examplap/gui/letter.pdf. It seems to 
be a letter generator, but unfortunately I wasn't able to make it work. 
Maybe it is outdated since it is 10 years old.

Do you mean http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Sample_documents ? Yes, that's 
a good idea, since I believe that it is a way to improve documentation 
with little efforts. Then I plan to add the cover letter style I made 
since I am happy with the results, although 1 or 2 things could have 
some improvement. There are also some letter styles there, then I will 
have a look on them too. I don't know if people are intimidated about 
writing contents in the wiki because it is the official wiki and feel 
that only programmers are supposed to update it, but it will be really 
helpfull if the users have more the habit of posting there the document 
styles they made.

> Sounds interesting and the best thing you can do is to start with it.

Thanks for your encouragement ! Yes that looks like an interesting 
challenge for me, but it is not something I am wanting to do alone 
because of my lack of experience, at least I would need someone to coach 
me. Actually I don't have really experience with web developpment and I 
would at least need help for the technological choices. Having someone 
that tells me that if I use technology X, there are module Y and Z that 
will be a good fit is a good start.

Have a nice day,
Jonas
