Updating OpenAxiom does however require at least ssh access to the server. I am also motivated to use the wiki itself to illustrate, experiment and compare the different versions of Axiom (including the version of Axiom from Tim Daly's original project). I always wanted "AxiomWiki" to be non-denominational and I continued to use the name Axiom in this sense even after the project forks. I think one of the big problems with the wiki philosophy is getting people to take or develop a sense of ownership. I am very happy that the FriCAS project is going in this direction. > Also, a lot of info in wiki is obsolete.
