Speaking as a raw ConTeXt beginner, I would find it very helpful to have a library of different styles: LaTeX, journal, conference and book styles. Although all the information is probably there, it is very scattered around though manuals, the wiki, and other documents, and so is in consequence not always easy to find.
Why don't you create a wiki page with the **exact** specifications. Then others can write the ConTeXt code to show how to achieve that specification.
We can perhaps have a cookbook section on the wiki, which can use these specification as exercise.
+1, best idea so far. Not only regarding latex-specific commonplaces but for typographical tasks in general (along the lines of “how I implemented Bringhurst’s chapter enumeration” &c.). Would it suffice to just create another wiki namespace like the command reference has? (Entries should have a date stamp and state the context version they were written for.) Philipp
Without the exact specification, it is very difficult to understand what a "journal" style or a "book" style means. Not all journals and books have the same style.
