Personally, I would very much prefer a single wiki. I believe that users would have great difficulty in distinguishing the various forks in a systematic way; they may not have been the one to set up which ever variation was installed with their working group.

Tim, I have no comment concerning your trademark claims but it was certainly not my intention to cause any confusion. I have updated the web page to which you referred to indicate that it uses FriCAS. The axiom-wiki web site is currently hosted by the FriCAS project and Waldek has commented in an email to the FriCAS list that he does not intend that the web site be exclusive to FriCAS but he does not have the resources to support more than the FriCAS part of the the site. Since this is a wiki the contents of the site is under the control of the wiki user community. If there is continued disagreement about the appearance and contents of the site regarding the use of the work "axiom", then the likely result is that the original Axiom project will no longer be represented there at all. But before anyone takes such steps I think it would be better to discuss it a little further. Regards, Bill Page.

Today I received an Axiom bug report... "the enumerate()$V function does not work" So, I looked at the page pointed out in the bug report: http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org/SandBoxObserverAsIdempotent2 It has the line: gens: List M := enumerate()$V and CLEARLY STATES THAT THIS IS AXIOM OUTPUT. Axiom does not implement enumerate from that domain. So I fired up a copy of FriCAS and found that it exists there. Bill, I could forgive this "mistake" by anyone else but not you. I have begged and pleaded with you to not spread confusion between Axiom and the forks. I have begged and pleaded with Waldek and Gaby. Please stop. Please. I'm begging you. Do the professional thing, the right thing. Use "Axiom" when you use Axiom. Use "FriCAS" when you use FriCAS. Stop using FriCAS and calling it Axiom. Axiom is a trademark of the Axiom project, not of FriCAS or OpenAxiom. >From the faq: =================================================================== FAQ 46: Axiom Trademark information =================================================================== The name "Axiom" and the Axiom-included iconic images are common law trademarks of this project. The term of service applies to the code distributed and compiled versions of code distributed from the Axiom websites at axiom-developer.org <http://axiom-developer.org> savannah.nongnu.org/projects/axiom <http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/axiom> sourceforge.net/projects/axiom <http://sourceforge.net/projects/axiom> github.com/daly/axiom <http://github.com/daly/axiom> You are deliberately causing confusion and the result is that I get bug reports that don't apply. Please either change the page to use Axiom facilities or change the page to use the name FriCAS. Please.
