Greetings all.
Bob - I'll see your scare quotes and Microsoft/Intel characterisation, and
raise you Working Code.. ;-)
Here's where I'm at with LatexWiki and MathAction. I updated LatexWiki 0.42
to be compatible with current Zwiki.

Now I've copied that into the Zwiki product as an internal plugin.
http://joyful.com/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=ZWiki;a=filehistory;f=/plugins
This is running on zwiki.org at the moment.
I'm following the same process with the latest MathAction. Here it is
updated to work with current Zwiki, at least to the point of rendering LaTeX:
http://joyful.com/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=mathaction;a=summary
I have this installed as an internal plugin but it's not as yet added to
the Zwiki repo.
This mathaction plugin is still using it's own older version of LatexWiki.
I haven't made any attempt to refactor it to use the newer latexwiki
plugin, but this may be a good thing to work towards. And that looks a lot
easier now. In the past I tried to reconcile the two by pulling patches
between your repos, but the differences were too large for me to resolve.
About internal vs. external plugins - a lot of projects seem to end up
organised this way: many independent plugins, but distributed en masse. At
the cost of some independence, it ensures users always have compatible
code, solving a whole lot of problems with version skew and backwards
compatibility, and also makes the overall codebase more maintainable and
likely to be kept up to date. I think it's a good approach for zwiki
plugins and pagetypes.
Should I bundle a mathaction plugin with Zwiki ? I'm not sure yet. I might
check it in, refactor it and split it out again later. Anyway, ideally I'll
achieve a clean up-to-date mathaction that's enticing enough for Bill to
switch to. If not, well nothing lost.
Comments welcome - Simon
