Yes, using the internet archive :-)

Hmm, in fact I usually send it to address@hidden I thought you were just too
busy...

If there are no comments within the next few hours, I'll send out 

http://page.axiom-developer.org/zope/mathaction/CallForSoftware

tomorrow morning (European time) to sci.math.symbolic and the Tim's email
adresses.

Furthermore, there will be a proposal for a new FrontPage on 

http://page.axiom-developer.org/zope/mathaction/SandBox

shortly. I thought a little about a sensible structure, unfortunately I left
the notes at home, so I can only tell you that I arrived something more or less
OK... I found that it's not that easy, since there are several different "User"
profiles:

* the sponsor who wants to check that his name is mentioned often enough, and
  maybe is interested in some superficial facts

* the guy passing by, who is mainly interested in some superficial facts, but
  might want to try it out.

* the newbie looking for help solving his homework

* the advanced user, who is looking for something very specific

* the developer...

If you like it, I'll make it the "real" FrontPage and you can then make
MathAction the new homepage. In any case, I will have transferred everything
until tomorrow morning.
