Dear Axiom Fans, The move of the Axiom Wiki and the Axiom Portal that was announced last month is now nearly complete. Monday, November 26 is the official date for the release of the new Axiom Wiki:
http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org and the new Axiom Portal http://axiom-portal.newsynthesis.org which is now hosted on the Sage server operated by William Stein at the University of Washington. On Monday the old urls: http://wiki.axiom-developer.org ** obsolete ** and http://portal.axiom-developer.org **obsolete ** will be automatically re-directed to the new sites. Later that week, all wiki and portal files will be removed from the axiom-developer.org server. Tim Daly has plans that he will announce separately for re-allocating resources on this server to focus on the goals of the original Axiom project. The new site is intended to support all three Axiom-related projects (the original project plus OpenAxiom and the FriCAS forks), as well as Aldor as a library compiler for Axiom. In addition to Axiom the wiki and portal include interfaces for Reduce, Maxima and Sage. It also supports pages containing noweb literate programs (pamphlets) and graphics generated by graphviz. All bug reports and issues from the old wiki site have been transferred to the new site and an updated version of the customized Topic navigation has been implemented at the new site (left sidebar). The only feature that has not (yet) been implemented at the new site is the point-and-click assistant extension of the edit and comment forms. I am not certain whether this feature is really desirable since in increases the size and there for the rendering time of every page on the site. I would be glad to receive opinions about this. If find any of your favorite pages from the old site are missing at the new site, there is still time to transfer the page source from old to the new. If you need help with doing this just let me know. Some of the pages on the new axiom-wiki site do not yet reflect the current state of the Axiom-related projects. Your help in updating the pages at the new axiom-wiki site would be greatly appreciated. If your were registered as a user of the old Axiom Portal site, your account has *not* been automatically transferred to the new site. If you have some files or other content that you wish to preserve and transfer to the new site, please register at the new site: http://axiom-portal.newsynthesis.org and if necessary ask me for help in transferring the content. Regards, Bill Page. _______________________________________________ Axiom-mail mailing list Axiom-mail@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-mail
