Looks amazing. Looking at the license it appears in fact to be free as
in speech (distributed under GPL 2 or later), which of course only
makes it more attractive!

As the subject line says, this is slightly OT, but it may be of interest to some. If you produce your presentations in ConTeXt and want to show the resulting pdf, you have to use a pdf-viewer. I just hate Adobe Reader with its bloat and its intrusiveness; other solutions (such as evince and xpdf on linux) had smaller problems as well. I have recently found a relatively small python solution that i like a lot; I hasten to add that I'm in no way affiliated with the developers; I just have installed it and use it a lot.
It's called keyjnote; it's free (as in beer), and it offers a lot of nice eye-candy during presentations of pdf-files such as nice transitions, a sorted view that shows all slides in one window and lets you choose one, and the possibility to highlight parts of the screen with your mouse pointer. There are some disadvantages: it has a lot of pythonish dependencies (on OS X, I could install them via darwinports, but it's a lot more difficult on most linux distros), it needs opengl support, and a reasonably fast machine. But it costs nothing to just have a look at it: http://keyjnote.sourceforge.net/ And I find that it makes presentations done in ConTeXt look even better! Well, if you come to Epen, you'll see yourself ;-)
Best
