i'm working on a javascript/html version of the browser documentation.
when we get the doyen version of the system which has the axiom wiki
software locally available it should be possible to use a standard
web browser to do hyperdoc functionality. i've converted some of the
pages to html with embedded javascript and am learning more about AJAX
and the XMLHttpRequest function. getting this to work thru the sman
interface will require some recoding there also.

one useful contribution would be a set of html-only web pages that
describe axiom better. perhaps taking the newly-published axiom
tutorial latex file, converting it to html, and cleaning it up so
it can be used from the browser would be useful. that way, when the
hyperdoc rewrite completes and the wiki runs locally we'll have a
lot more documentation available.
