[Axiom-developer] about axiom documentation

[daly]

Christophe,

Thanks for the info on the french documentation. Can you 
give me a URL for the docs?

I don't know what an "CC BY-SA" license means. Is it possible to 
integrate a copy of the documentation with the Axiom build? 
Axiom is license under the Modified BSD which means that people
are pretty much free to do what they please with the source. 

I'm interested in making Axiom more international ( though even
the little paragraph you wrote strained my french language skills )
I've ported Axiom to Red Flag Linux for China and, though it works 
I can't read the menus.

I'd like to get more involved with the French community anyway.
I plan to give 2 talks at the LSM conference in July. One of the
topics of interest will be trying to get a local base of support 
for the French community.

There was a discussion a couple years ago within INRIA about 
creating a computer algebra system from scratch. At the time I
raised the point that I was going to get the Axiom source code
as open source and that, while it would take a while to rewrite
(2.5 years it turned out), it made more sense to start from a
large set of working algorithms than trying to build them. Axiom
has 30 years of work and it is unlikely that there will be funding
for a new project of the same size.
