Sending this also to axiom-developer... Thank you Bill for your fast actions! That's really great! I tried around a little, but I didn't have the idea to write the error message into a file... stupid me.
While we are at it: I'd suggest that you disable the possibility to comment on FrontPage, if this is easily done. (If it's more than five minutes of work, don't do it) Sometime in the future there should also be a redesign of the structure of MathAction, but I'd like to think a little about it. IssueTracker has become the most important tool for me. Maybe the contents of the pages WishList and SummerOfCode should be transferred to individual IssueTracker pages. On the other hand, I'd like to be able to group the issues somehow by topic: it is quite handy to have a page with integration problems where they are all grouped together. Maybe the solution is to keep the pages as they are -- i.e., with a short description - but to point to the appropriate IssueTracker pages for elaborations. The second thing that really occupies me: I think it's high time to make some advertisements for axiom again. It has changed quite a bit from the last announcement. Tim: if we make an announcement in (mid-)September, which patch number will be the regular Axiom version? (CVS, I believe) patch-44 or patch-45 ? Would the aldor stuff make it? if I send you a (documented) patch for the integration issue #199, would it make it into the release? I think we somehow need to manage to find a group that chooses axiom as it's development platform. Otherwise axiom will stay what it is, and that's just not good enough. I think your efforts with the Conference and the various efforts by Bill are really great Contributions to this end. I'd like to say thank you again! I talked a little with Ralf about the petition to free Aldor. I'll set up a page on MathAction to design an appropriate letter this weekend, I hope.
