--- Comment #11 from physikerwelt <[email protected]> ---
The software needed for displaying MathML at Wikipedia is no longer meant to be
LaTeXML.
Currently, the new (mathoid) solution requires the following commits to be
merged
1 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/90733/
2 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/90748/
3 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/85801/
(4) https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/87479/ (optional)
Merging all this commits would not change anything for the wikipedia user.
After the the option allow MathML can be switched on, which allows the logged
in user to use the mathml+svg rendering mode.
After that it could be defaulted if the user experience is positive.

The sad thing is, after I left SFO and went back to Berlin almost nothing has
happened and unfortunately nobody from the foundation is assigned to this task
so I have doubts that anything will happen in the future. So there is a
potential risk that it will take another 10 years until MathML gets live.
That's background information concerning the question how to move forward.

Regarding
1 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/90733/
the question is how to deploy the node request module.
I used node and phantomjs the first time in the context of the texvc2MathML
conversion. But as far as I have understood it would be sufficient to store the
js source of the node request module in some folder and copy it to the modules
dir of the node installation. But this seems more like a hack to me.... So I
have no idea what I could do to make progress on 1

In the long term, we could want to have math search
(http://demo.formulasearchengine.com/index.php/Special:MathSearch?mathpattern=\sin%28?x^2%29)

we would want to have LaTeXML
