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!
