I did not have network access for four days, so I'm having trouble following all this saga from where I'm currently sitting. The feedback I have on the recent saga around Axiom, in my understanding, is largely negative and make some very skilled people determined not to approach Axiom within any miles -- they would prefer redoing everything from scratch than to getting entangled in personal ego and drama.

I even understand more when very few people are showing up for Axiom, while the demand for an advanced, open source, computer algebra system is so pressing. Tim -- If you truly ant the Axiom project to succeed, be alive, and attract talented people., then this is not what you want. You should take a break and enjoy the summer. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
