Ralf, I'm not sure that this is true anymore. Axiom has been concentrating heavily on documentation and the results are visible primarily to the end user. Axiom now has approximate 300 help files, 250 of which are algebra. These are listed from the )help command. Axiom now has examples for thousands of functions, so when a user does )d op map he sees examples, such as: Examples of map from StreamFunctions2 m:=[i for i in 1..] f(i:PositiveInteger):PositiveInteger==i**2 map(f,m) Axiom now has 19 documents defined, of which 9 are fully populated and are being expanded continuously. All of the documentation is hyperlinked for easy navigation. There is a combined table of contents. Axiom has several full graphs of the algebra in various forms so a user can navigate the graph and hyperlink directly into the document containing the associated algebra. Axiom has one video on youtube which has been viewed 1168 times. A second one is "in process" to be released shortly. A whole series is planned. Axiom has included a new )set debug command that will expose various debugging tools to the end user. Axiom's website focus is on end user issues, including building easy-to-download binaries. Axiom has a new firefox browser front end that incorporates about 80 percent of the existing hyperdoc pages as well as dozens of new content pages. All of these changes are end-user visible, and only on Axiom. I think the end user can see these differences directly.
