Hello,
The ConTeXt modules are now mirrored on CTAN, but they might be
lacking better descriptions in the catalogue. Authors of modules -
please check.

(I think they are all public domain, but the request to check is still valid.)

They are still not included in the current texlive beta.

They are under
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/context/contrib/
but not imported into TeX Live yet.
Karl asked us to rename tex/context/third/vim into
tex/context/third/context-vim (or some similar approach), so that
folder names would match package name. Renaming the package into vim
is out of question since there is already "vim" package in TL (this is
what Karl says, but even if there are no collisions - it's nice if
it's clear that something is a ConTeXt package).
TeX Live has some automated scripts that check the whole TeX Live tree
and match package name with contents. If all packages obey that rule,
then one doesn't need to care about list of files that belong to a
certain package.
But I don't like that solution just for the sake of TeX Live. All
other distributions can live without that double naming happily. It
would be much better if some ConTeXt-specific package management would
be implemented (scripts should be told that they need to deal with
ConTeXt package, not LaTeX package, and search fof files accordingly)
- ConTeXt packages have enough strict rules of where files may reside.
Or whatever.
Another solution would be to write rules about which files to fetch
for each package. But then Karl doesn't like that solution since he
doesn't like having to create new rules every time a new package
appears. I'm willing to write those if that would solve the problem.

hm, kind of weird to have context in the path and then in the name

thats the same for any macro package so maybe the packages should have
names like <macropackage>-<name> where the instaleer strips the macro
package prefix and uses that for installing

we can add that feature to mtx-update (or i can write something dedicated)

easiest would be just to pack all third party stuff in one big zip
(after all it's not that huge) and just unzip it in the tree
