I second that. Or poetry perhaps. Random prophesies could be too

Actually as you all probably know, this website has been created by CS
students to demonstrate how serious some meetings are: they submitted
several papers created by their tools to the committee of a big meeting
in the US and one or two were accepted (it is about 3 or 4 years ago).

But why not invent for context something nicer than CS papers, love
letters for instance?

Btw: there is

\usemodule[visual]
\starttext
  \simplethesis
\stoptext

but it's not nearly as advanced as the one you have pointed out :P

In that case, just download the script, run it, and convert
the latex output to context manually?

But there is already a mechanism to create fake documents, not so
nice as real fake text but usefull.

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).

Of course, the site says its botches are context-free ;-)

Fortunately in my experience TeX conferences have a somewhat higher
subscription standard...
