Dear Ralf

having a status-of-the-project message somewhere in the official site  would 
indeed be quite useful for new users.

That said, your message transmits a feeling of sadness :)  I advice you to be a 
little more positive, like eg:

FriCAS is a relatively young project. There is a group of developers who 
actively work to refactor, improve and debug the existing code.

For lack of energies, the documentation of the project is still in a 
work-in-progress status and heavily relies on AXIOM's one. Expect multiple 
sources, inaccuracies, ...  We are aware of that and we hope to improve the 
situation as soon as possible. In the meanwhile, we understand that it might be 
frustrating for a new user to install, learn, and use FriCAS. If this is your 
case, please do not give up and write an email to [email protected] 
. Usually, one of the developers is around and will try to assist you to 
overcome your frustration.

Very good idea! Also the FriCAS-latex-Book should be in a git repo.

PS With no urgency at all, could you set my receiving preferences on 
fricas-devel to "no emails"? I preferer to read online when I have some time. 
Thanks.
