And me!

But we really need to have people setting this up in a chroot jail.  I
have been reading up on this...we need a script to create the jail.

I would like to distribute axiom support with LatexWiki.  I have tied my
version numbers to ZWiki, and they will release 0.35 on 10/1.  Do you
think we could add this by then?  (or maybe a bit after to ensure 0.35
compatability)

Bill our darcs repos have diverged, your patches no longer apply cleanly
to latexwiki.  I have moved the functions 'runCommand' and 'log' into
util.py so that they can be used by axiom/reduce.  There are a couple
other conflicts too (I improved plone/stylesheet in latexwiki.css).  Why
do you have a font-size +2 in your latexwiki.css?  Will you have time to
merge this in the next week or two?

FYI, I have gotten MathML/LatexWiki working in Plone::

    http://mcelrath.org/Plone/ITeXTest

You will need my zwiki patches to do that::

    http://bob.mcelrath.org/darcs/zwiki

Hopefully I will get those into ZWiki 0.35 but I haven't been able to
get Simon's attention in the last couple of days.  ;)  As a reminder my
latexwiki repo is here::

Mine is a debian binary::

This is the alpha architecture.

If I understand correctly, GCL is compiled-in?  I do not have gcl itself
installed on this machine.

    It is unpatriotic to question the Kleptocracy.
