The "algebra book" seems like a huge project to me - maybe even 90% of the problem of documenting Axiom. I think it is unlikely that this can be done in one single "book-sized" volume. Maybe sub-volumes per major mathematical topic? Anyway, Ralf if you agree to "take the lead" as Tim suggests and can apply/refine your ALLPROSE technology to this problem, then I would be very happy to help with this work under your guidance.
