Hello!

I browsed the history of NTG Context I found this:

This would be nice, becaused I tried to typeset a magazine for a high school
and after some time of TeX hacking I droped TeX (because of it's lack in
multiple columns, spanning page areas etc.) So, if ConTeXt will have such a
thing, then it will be GGGRRRREEEEAAAAT. IMHO.

Question is, however, when.
