As I said, I think a tutorial on writing an Org exporter from scratch
would be very interesting and useful. If, finally, you can find time for
it, I could do a translation to publish it on my blog in Spanish
(https://gnutas.juanmanuelmacias.com/). With my translation of Homer's
Odyssey (work in progress) and other projects, I don't have a lot of free
time, but I can always find a moment.

(In my case) I have not used much ConTeXt. Really, I prefer LaTeX. It's
a personal opinion and a matter of taste, but I find ConTeXt too
"monolithic". One of the main problems it has is (I think) its huge lack
of documentation (compared to LaTeX). I suppose, in part, because his
community is smaller. However, I also think that ConTeXt has interesting
features (grid typesetting, xml integration, etc.), and it would not be
a bad idea to have an alternative to LaTeX in Org. But I don't know if
it would be something feasible in the short term, beyond the concept...

Regards,

Juan Manuel
