All of these volumes can be updated directly through the web. We can create diffs of these against the versions in the current source distribution and vice versa. Maybe we could even hack together a good way to make periodic automatic commits from one to the other. Right now the version on the web is about 9 months old and was based on the tla archive by the same name. I don't know the status of that archive relative to the versions of similar files in the axiom--main--1 source distribution. I guess we should make some kind of effort to coordinate this and make sure everything is upto date and in sync before deciding how best to proceed with large scale edits. No?
