Thank you.

I've slightly modified it and have temporarily put it to my wip/rstdoc
branch.

https://github.com/hemmecke/fricas/tree/wip/rstdoc

I have kept the link to INSTALL, but I hope that eventually INSTALL will
only contain

====
See src/doc/sphinx/source/install.rst or
http://fricas.github.io/install.html.
====

And we can eventually improve this
https://hemmecke.github.io/fricas/install.html
(or rather the corresponding .rst file).

In my version of the README, I use "statically typed" instead of
"strongly typed".

I have a strong desire to put "static" here (in contrast to dynamic).
"strongly typed" doesn't seem to be sooo clear according to

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2690544/what-is-the-difference-between-a-strongly-typed-language-and-a-statically-typed

or

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2351190/static-dynamic-vs-strong-weak

If I look at what they write in the first reference than with our
"pretend" keyword, SPAD would be weakly typed.

If you do not want a program like "retext" you can commit it to a
temporary git branch, 'foo' say, push it to github and then look how
github shows the text. It's easy to remove the branch from github via

  git push origin :foo

You just shouldn't indent the itemized stuff. But it wouldn't hurt too
much in this case.

I would prefer writing it without that list. Such a list is always too
short and it is too hard to please potential users.

However, I have added "general purpose" to the first line. That should
be an important distinction from specialized CAS.
