Dear gang, A couple of days ago I decided to port my old LaTeX cv to ConTeXt. Could not find any ConTeXt templates, and the currvita.sty referred to in the ConTeXt archives was ugly compared to my present cv. So I wrote an experimental module which I present here. Following is the module and a sample file. Please give me your suggestions for improvement, and any of you should feel free to post it to the wiki.
