It is perhaps a lot of work included, but extending the

functionality.
Oh, another quest for our magic Patrick! ;-)
Let me extend the suggestion, for we miss a ConTeXt test suite for a
long time now:
- users send test cases
- test cases get typeset with the actual ConTeXt and converted to PNG
(like inline samples)
- user "votes" if it looks right, if not adds comment
- test case gets saved, including PNG, ConTeXt version and vote/comments
- at next update, all test cases get typeset again, and users can
"vote" if it looks still ok or at least the same (perhaps it would be
possible to check automatically if the bitmaps are exactly identical)
This does work only for max. 1 page samples, and I don't know if it's
within the abilities of our wizard(s)...
And I guess different users have different opinions what looks
"right", but we could check if something changed.
i'd say, go ahead ... you can use the wiki as place to collect those things
