And, in particular, something which explains in 5 lines why one would want to use ConTeXt instead of LaTeX.
My 2 cents: Context has more coherent design, more control of page layout, more choice of font sizes, more direct control of pretty much everything. The automatic iterated construction of TOC, index, references, etc is nice too. The docs I build are subject to various formatting requirements laid down in law. They are feasible in both OpenOffice and Context but they are not feasible in Latex without a great deal of work. --Mike Bird
