I another thread I talked about my problems with converting my ConTeXt file
to an editable format. In principal going the xhtml way seemed best.
But yesterday I got talking with someone in the train. He told me that it
was possible to convert ConTeXt to LaTeXt and LaTeXt to an ODT file. This
could solve my problem. Was this person correct? If yes, how would I do
this?

"context -> latex" sounds like a no-go to me
At some point if could be interesting to see if we could go from the
context xml export (structure makeup) to odt (office makeup) but it's
not something that I'll do for fun (I have no need for it anyway).

Okay, I'll discard this option then. (Or someone else must have a way to do
the ConTeXt -> LaTeXt part.)

Keep in mind that ConTeXt -> ODT should in theory be doable as well,
but the author of tex4ht died and it is very unlikely that the
conversion would work without any problems and even more unlikely that
anyone would know how to fix it.
If you can throw away any formatting you did and if you didn't use too
many ConTeXt specific tricks, you can "simply rewrite" your code to
LaTeX with a few regular expressions etc. But in the same spirit it
might be way easier to just "convert" the document straight to ODT
using copy-paste and applying some formatting there.

Or, if you know up front that you need multiple output formats,
you could use Markdown/Pandoc etc. and let it generate ConTeXt
as needed.

I did not know. They where happy with PDF's all the time, but when the
project was almost finished, they changed the requirements. But maybe good
to keep in mind for the next project.

It also depends on the requirement.
Of a document only has some sectioning, itemize, and tables (and the
majority of the document have) then some simple convertable input format
can do. For more complex documents you end up with either coding in tex
or when multiple output is needed xml is a good choice. When coding in
tex, the xml/xhtml can be of help (and it will evolve) as it provides a
pretty complete structure of the document.
Concerning OTD: if you need to be roundtrip, then you also need to be
able to convert back, which might be non trivial.

ODT is just another XML format, so it shouldn't be hard to do with the
current export code (and IIRC they have even a "flat xml" ODT that gets
the whole document in one xml file instead of the common multi-file in a
zip archive format).

So then it's mostly a matter of someone writing an xslt script.
