Perhaps what we need is a page on the wiki which describes the goals of the Axiom project in a succinct way. That page can be developed and driven by a community effort.
Well that is certainly what I had in mind when I made the changes that Tim asked me to remove.
It can contain a listing of all of the current branches which describes the efforts underway to realize some of those objectives.
I think most of that is already on the Axiom Wiki.
It can include a link to FriCAS, stating clearly that it is a fork of the project, and has a different set of goals. It could say something to the effect of "see the FriCAS page for details". That section should be little more than an FYI type entry. Let the FriCAS page do its own self promotion.
I believe that is exactly what I did. But unless you are subscribed to the Axiom Wiki itself (some Axiom developers are and some are not) you probably did not get a chance to read what I wrote before I did what Tim asked me to do and deleted the page from the Wiki.
In that way, we promote the Axiom project and its goals/ideals unambiguously, and give the reader the opportunity to explore an alternative approach so that they may form their own opinion about the merits of each project.
Sounds good to me. Only this time you start it and maybe no one will ask you to delete it again. :-( Regards, Bill Page. _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
