I am trying to typeset a simple table with very tight spacing. The first
column of the table is wider than the others with a mysterious amount of
extra space added on the left. You can reproduce this with a simple example:

\starttext
\starttable[|s1l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|]
\HL
\VL4\NC  1\NC 7\VL\AR
\VL6\NC  3\NC 2\VL\AR
\VL9\NC  5\NC 8\VL\LR \HL
\HL
\stoptable
\stoptext

I assume the problem is that I don't understand the "s1" declaring the
amount of space for the cells. Reading through the docs (which have examples
of tables but not a lot of introductory material), I haven't been able to
find a way to remove the extra left-hand space while leaving the spacing of
the remaining cells the same.

Also a quick note, I have spent the last month converting to ConTeXt from my
previous background in LaTeX and have really been amazed. I'm currently
typesetting a new journal, aimed at computer programmers (
http://codequarterly.com/) and I was very quickly able to get my otf fonts
working, format complicated documents, and create reusable named styles. If
we're happy users of ConTeXt, what is the best way to give back to the
community? Blog posts talking about it? Documentation? Conferences?

Thanks,

Adam Solove
