Hello, my name is Frithjof Schulze. I'm currently trying to understand Axiom and am very much interested in computer algebra systems and computer algebra in general. Though I don't know much yet I'm disposed to learn. I like Axiom and what you are trying to do (that is the 30 year horizon), and would like to help you to achieve that goal. Also I think I will learn pretty much that way.
I have no practical experience in projects much bigger than textbook exercises let alone open source projects this big. So presumably I can not do much coding now and will just have lot of questions. Is it OK, if I ask some of them here? Still, I'm studying mathematics and already know Common Lisp fairly well. At some point in the near future I should know enough about the mathematics and the code to be able to contribute. What I can do now is this: While reading the Axiom documentation I saw a lot of stuff that I think I could improve even with my current knowledge. In particular in volume one of the Axiom-Book, that I think addresses newbies like myself, I would like too clarify some parts that weren't clear to me in the beginning. Also I would like to rearrange some parts, to make the tutorial a better reading. Would that be welcomed? If yes, shall I post patches here or directly to Sourceforge or somewhere else?
