+1 For sure. Leo is a "new generation" literaterate programming tool that is well worth looking into. I think we would learn a lot about Axiom if we were to set up a Leo environment of building Axiom. > > And actually, if we used our Wiki more extensively, also that > could provide different views onto Axiom.

We're web connected." Seriously, I think the web (the whole web, not just what fits on your desktop) is the only technology that can solve this sort of problem at the "peta-scale" that, as Tim has suggested, is nearlly here already. Unfortunately we are only just being to learn how to build such systems.
