Aditya has answered you, but just as explanation: 1.) Authors should update modules.contextgarden.net - this is the primary and definite source (however, I dislike the current interface; we'll force Patrick to change at least something here, preferrably use some version control) 2.a) There's a (non-public) mirror of dl.contextgarden.net/modules that syncs all the modules that should go to CTAN (and renames them at the same time); CTAN team then syncs automatically once per day. (Read as: if author updates modules.contextgarden.net, this should proliferate to CTAN in < 26 hours + one extra day for secondary mirrors) 2.b) Minimals sync from the same source (http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/modules/) at "random" times. 3.a) TeX Live and MikTeX sync from CTAN automatically (once per day?). 3.b) Users of minimals can use the normal rsync route. Once you use --extras="t-modulename" it should be updating on regular bases from that moment on (I just figured out that we currently have no interface to remove module, but interface needs revision anyway.) If someone writes a new module someone (me) needs to set up 2.a) and 2.b) to take the new module into account. But of course you may use whatever way you prefer to fetch your favourite module. You can put it to texmf-local or texmf-whatever (whatever should not be "context" or "os-name") or to TEXFHOME (I have a feeling that we have set up that once, but I'm not 100% sure).
