It's nice to see a new third party module for ConTeXt but you have to
make a few changes.
1. You have to put the module and the documentation in the correct doc
and tex folders.
I'm doing it now. Thanks, I'll give my module some more order.
2. You should give your manual a better name, e.g. metaducks-manual.tex
Agreed. I'll prepare a better manual before updating.
3. You can put your color definitions in the module, there is no need
for a new color file, especially because most of the colors you use are
already predefined.
Oh, colors are a bit different, so I copied RGB definitions from
xcolor.sty, especially because with ConTeXt colors ducks looked a bit
"brown" rather than yellow. However, I can merge t-metaducks.mkvi and
colo-imp-xcolor.mkiv if necessary.
no need to merge ... in lmtx you can play with
withcolor "red"
and such ... best keep colors abstract
