I can testify of at least another person believing in this :-) Probably many more. When we had our "Open source Computer Algebra Meeting" back in 2002, the above ideas where very much in the air. I believe that what was missing is someone with the determination, qualification, and stamina to get it running -- with a fairly insane guts level to think «yes we can». Cheers, Nicolas -- Nicolas M.
