I was looking for that section in the Dutch manual, but I don't speak
Dutch, and I'm not sure where the section on special booklet collation
is.  I noticed "Pagineren" and "Paginanummers", but I didn't see it
there.  

Is it hard to do?  Basically, I'm interested in taking a document with
dynamically-generated context (so I won't know beforehand how many
pages there are) and making it have pages ready for double-sided
front-and-back printing, as if I ran my LaTeX "[twosided]" document
through the psutils' psbook and "psnup -n 2".

By the way, I'm excited about ConTeXt!  I didn't really understand
what it is--a whole new format like plain and LaTeX.  It's very
coherent, consistent, common-sensical, and _powerful_.

Also, is there a way to generate printed documentation from the
ConTeXt sources?  I see there's a lot of information in there, and it
looks like it's all or mostly English.

And lastly, is there a searchable archive of this mailing list?
