New module simpleslides

["Thomas A. Schmitz" <thomas.schmitz@uni-bonn.de>]

Dear list members,

We're happy to announce the initial release of the simpleslides  
module. It has taken us somewhat longer than we anticipated, but now  
it's there! simpleslides is a module that facilitates the creation of  
presentations in ConTeXt. It provides a few macros to position titles,  
text, and images on slides, some typescripts to make use of  
LatinModern and the TeXGyre fonts, and a few pre-defined styles that  
should make your presentations visually appealing.

We guarantee that this release is absolutely bug-free; whoever finds a  
bug has the inalienable right to buy us a beer at the next ConTeXt  
meeting! Seriously: we are aware that some things are not working as  
expected. Our biggest and most embarrassing problem for the time being  
is that the module refuses to work with XeTeX. Neither of us uses  
XeTeX on a regular basis, and we're not familiar with its innards, so  
we're at a loss here. If you can offer help, you will be most welcome!

We would of course welcome feedback, bug reports, feature suggestions,  
etc., so download the module at http://modules.contextgarden.net/module/detail?name=simpleslides 
  and give it a whirl!

Aditya and Thomas
