Tim, It is still the idea of the project ;-). I do not know if you ever read this post by Emil Sit, http://www.emilsit.net/blog/archives/tools-for-repeatable-research/ . He actually mentions you and the Doyen idea for what he calls repeatable research. On 7/29/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTE

[Axiom-developer] literate programming, Claerbout's Insight and Doyen

Now that memory kicks in I recall that one original motivation for the Doyen project was to create particular "snapshots" for a particular piece of research that could always be reproduced. Jose has carefully documented the process of creating a Doyen CD so a paper could be published on the CD al

Re: [Axiom-developer] Axweb, a literate programming tool

Could you update http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/PamphletSyntax and add a link to AxWeb there. I was thinking of adding a few things but thought it might be inappropriate as my opinions cannot be taken as strictly objective in this context. Well, as you see, I've also marked some items with

[Axiom-developer] Re: axiom credit list

Thank you, Tim. Credit is costless to share and there is always enough blame to go around. If someone you know has contributed to Axiom in some form feel free to add them to the list of credits. No explanation is necessary. There are no rules and no guidelines, just your own private judgement t

[Axiom-developer] axiom credit list

Ralf, There are no criteria for adding someone's name to the list except that you, I, or anyone else believes the name should be added. The list is meaningless in the sense that, as a set, there is no rule for deciding membership. It isn't an attempt at academic credit. The )credit command and t

[Axiom-developer] Axweb, a literate programming tool

*, Well, I think the code is ready for a BETA release. Axweb is a pretty decent replacement for noweb and I believe it has a lot of potential. It is written in Common Lisp and can be tightly integrated with Axiom as a consequence. I am going to work with it in the Axisp branch and try to get s
