Thank you very much, I added it to SX, feel free to vote:
     <http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1184/community-promotion-ads-1h-2011>

I'm missing a clear message to the user, but I'm not sure what that
could be. I only wrote "ConTeXt" for "mouse over". Suggestions for
better text are welcome.

PS: It is a pitty that Taco didn't send you the original high
resolution before you started, but this one is just fine. I have
chosen to do exact 0.5x magnification in order to avoid weird
artifacts, so one foot is missing now :) Something is missing in the
part where 2011 was written, but well ... we will figure something
out. I can still edit the post.
