Hi to all,

I've briefly presented ConTeXt to the students of my course in Visual  
Identities.
They were all enthusiastic. So they asked me if I can give an  
introductory but "real" seminar.
At my lab the students are all on macosx 10.4/5.
Now the probem:

All my students comes from humanities, no computer science background  
at all. I cannot ask them to be aware of low level installation aspects.
My ideal would be something like the standard ConTeXt I was working  
with an year ago. One installs MacTeX and can start working.
Now, we need easy font switching. I'm actually using XeTeX. But it  
has been complicated to set it up. I don't think I can have my  
students dig into installations ("patch this" etc).
Is there any chance to have luatex into the next MacTeX distro?
Any ideas?

Many thanks
Best
