Mojca's point, that Context is commercial, may be the key: it can be

in the code and wonder about.)
If you spend some time on the mailing list your probably make the contrary
observation. There are countless cases where Hans, Taco or Wolfgang
implement some features to fulfill a request of a user. Nearly every time I
had a question/problem, a solution came up within _hours_. That's quite
impressive imho.
That also means that many solutions can be found by searching the mailing
list archives ... not few things are also mentioned in the Wiki. And for the
very basic problems, the "old" manuals still mostly apply.
I do think that it would be pretty awesome to have a central up-to-date
documentation which I could also recommend to other people I try to convince
to use ConTeXt instead of Word, Writer or LaTeX. But at least for my
personal needs I find answers to most of my questions already.
it could be a user effort to document the new stuff posted on the list
