I'm comfortable with ctxtools --updatecontext, = but much less comfortable updating binaries and fonts, based on my experience screwing up my installation; a nice Mac OS X interface to deal with all these would be great. How about allowing installation of modules from http://modules.contextgarden.net, too? (I admit that there's probably a good deal of FUD here on my part and it's not as complicated as I think it is. My guess, though, is that I'm not alone.)
