Hello, masters ...
I would like create my first context mkiv module.
Can someone please steer me what the first study and where to find some
good advice for beginners?
Appropriate would be also a simple module, which was easy to read and
find out how to do everything correctly.

just take a look at wolfgang's ... they use the latest mkiv abstractions 
(module namespaces etc, something that Wolfgang, Aditya and I are working on).

fancybreak [1] is at the moment the only module with all these things but the 
other will follow

Does it make sense to copy the definition of mult-aux.mkiv to mkii? Everything other than \definenamespace should work in both mkii and mkiv. That way, I can use it in modules that target both mkii and mkiv.

BTW, I am still amused how Hans manages to write such code. If you replace \expandafter with \...@ea, this code will have more # than other characters combined :)

\unexpanded\def\doinstallparameterhandler#1#2#3#4#5#6#7%
  {\def#3##1{\csname#4{#1#2}{##1}\endcsname}%

\def#4##1##2{\ifcsname##1##2\endcsname##1##2\else\expandafter#5\csname##1\s!parent\endcsname{##2}\fi}%
   \def#5##1##2{\ifx##1\relax\s!empty\else#4{##1}{##2}\fi}%
   \def#6##1##2{\csname#4{#1##1}{##2}\endcsname}%

\def#7##1{\detokenize\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter{\csname#1##1\endcsname}}}
