http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/ it would be nice to have something in context. Sorry, missing some words ; it should be "it would be nice to have something in context to show on the wiki" I'm sure that pdfs will be more beatiful, and we will have some original examples to show on the wiki.

Why exactly? If it is just for the creation of sample documents: SCIgen is a template-driven perl script that is open-source, so creating a context backend would be easy (and fun).

But there is already a mechanism to create fake documents, not so nice as real fake text but usefull. m-visual.tex %D For Mojca: %D %D \starttyping %D \def\simplethesis %D {\setupsystem[random=1234] %D \title{\fakewords{3}{4}} %D \placelist[chapter,section] %D \dorecurse{6} %D {\chapter{\fakewords{5}{10}} %D \dorecurse{5} %D {\section{\fakewords{2}{5}} %D \dorecurse{2} %D {\dorecurse{3}{\fakewords{100}{200}\endgraf} %D \placefigure{\fakewords{8}{15}}{\fakefigure{5cm}{3cm}{10cm}{5cm}} %D \dorecurse{2}{\fakewords{100}{200}\endgraf}}}}} %D %D \starttext %D \simplethesis %D \stoptext %D \stoptyping Wolfgang
