Dear Semantic Wiki community,

  this mail is to announce the release of the current, intermediate state of 
SWiM, a variant of IkeWiki (http://ikewiki.salzburgresearch.at) enhanced for 
mathematical documents, as version 0.2. SWiM enhances IkeWiki by support for 
the following mathematical markup languages:

* MathML, a W3C standard in its upcoming version 3, is used for presenting 
mathematical formulae.
* OpenMath (http://www.openmath.org) is used to enter mathematical formulae in 
a semantically reasonable structure, regardless of how they are rendered.
* OMDoc (http://www.omdoc.org) is used to embed formulae into documents and to 
semantically structure these documents into mathematical theories and 
statements.

New features in 0.2 are:

1. a completely redesigned and improved user interface, mostly thanks to the 
hard work Sebastian Schaffert did on IkeWiki

2. rendering of mathematical formulae in MathML 3, according to notation 
definitions for symbols that can dynamically be made inside the wiki, using 
the mmlproc renderer (http://kwarc.info/projects/mmlkit/).

3. a way to edit OMDoc XML structures as tables and OpenMath content-markup 
formulae in a linearized ASCII notation inside the TinyMCE HTML editor 
(http://tinymce.moxiecode.com)

4. import and export working for OMDoc documents, and partly working for 
OpenMath content dictionaries and MathML 3 notation definitions.

For the next milestone, I'll mainly be working on enhancing the OpenMath 
support, e.g. turning SWiM into a proper editor for OpenMath content 
dictionaries. For technical details, see the roadmap at 
https://trac.kwarc.info/swim/roadmap.

Check out …

* the live demo at http://swim.kwarc.info
* the project homepage at http://kwarc.info/projects/swim/ for further 
information, downloading an installable packags or the sources, and recent 
publications.
* the bug tracker at http://trac.kwarc.info/swim/ to report bugs or to request 
features
* the SWiM mailing list at 
http://lists.jacobs-university.de/mailman/listinfo/project-swim and the 
MathWeb wiki page at http://mathweb.org/wiki/SWiM for more announcements and 
to participate in detailed discussions.

Best,

Christoph
