Those comands set the meta-information what Acroread displays in
"about this document" or how this is called. (Try it on Berend's file.)

To make a title page, you may use something like this:

\startstandardmakeup
\null\vfill
{\tfa This is my document}
\godown[4cm]
{\tfb I am the author}
\vfill
\stopstandardmakeup
% Untested, of course :-)

The standardmakeup turns off page headers and footers (and other things),
\vfills and godowns make vertical spacing, tf. are font switches.
The makeups are in the beta manual, I think.

> I can use \title for the title but \author is undefined.

There are no standard title pages like in LaTeX styles, ConTeXt users
are supposed to be creative enough to make them themselves (just
kidding, no flame please). Title pages are the only places in many documents
where you are allowed to be creative.

Is there anyone who disagrees? :-)
