Btw, Willy Egger has a hard cover version of that manual which me might like to take to the context meeting.

I'd like to see a better integration of this package with ConTeXt. For example, hooking it into the ConTeXt color mechanism (unless you guys have some tricks up your sleave you'ld like to share ;-) I could not get global text color within a TikZ environment without individually coloring every node...

If a color is defined using ConTeXt's definecolor it can be used with tikz. Here is an example (adapted from the tikz manual) \usemodule[tikz] \definecolor[mycolor] [g=.75,r=.15,b=.5] \starttext \start[tikzpicture] [parent anchor=east,child anchor=west,grow=east] \tikzstyle{every node}=[ball color=mycolor,circle,text=white] \tikzstyle{edge from parent}=[draw,dashed,thick,red] \node {root} child {node {left}} child {node {right} child {node {child}} child {node {child}} }; \stop[tikzpicture] \stoptext
