What I would like to do is to have bug reports that are specific to each version/fork. Right now this is not the case. But what I think we should do as issues are reviews and/or closed in a particular system, and if the issue is still outstanding in one or more of the other systems, I think we should clone the bug reports (make copies for each system) and then close the ones where the bug is fixed. I know that this might seem like extra work, but copying these reports is really pretty easy just using cut-and-paste in edit mode. > (I see, you are experimenting with running all axioms on > MathAction?) > Yes, I have a preliminary version of the axiom-wiki installed at newsynthesis.org (aka. sage.math) that does support all three versions/forks of axiom. This is easily expanded and configured if/when more versions become available. Right now only the FriCAS version supports Aldor. The way I choose to do this in the end was to make it possible to specify which version/fork of Axiom is to be used on a particular web page. More than one version/fork of Axiom *cannot* be mixed on the same page. Although this may not be quite as flexible as we might have wished, I think it will help to keep things simple. You can select the version/fork of Axiom that you want to use for the computation on a page in the 'edit' window and on the IssueTracker bug report form. You might also notice that I have made some significant changes to the navigation on the axiom-wiki website. There is a topics list on the lefthand side and there are hierachy/ontology navigation arrows available at the top of the page. I would be quite interested to hear opinions about these new features at: http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org As usual, there remains a lot of work to do to update the axiom-wiki. I would like to encourage anyone who has some motivations to improve this site to "jump in" and make a contribution!
