Thanks for the clarification. I fully understand that you don't have the resources to give equal treatment to FriCAS and other AXIOM variants on your server. (I don't think I would have time to do that either if I were in your shoes). Consequently, it is only natural than you call it FriCAS wiki as opposed to AXIOM wiki, otherwise you would be setting expectations that you know you cannot meet. Others will feel comfortable that way. -- Gaby -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
