[conspire] maxima (or alternatives) and wiki

[Ivan Sergio Borgonovo]

I'd like to use a program to massage math symbolic expressions (less 
interested in numerical computation).

I'd also like to see what I wrote and be able to search through it on 
the web (possibly a wiki).

I'm aware of mathjax and mathml, but both are "formatting systems" and 
they really don't understand math.

I'm currently using maxima, but I won't find hard to switch since I 
haven't invested much time in learning how maxima works.

Maxima has a "translator" from maxima expressions to tex but there is 
still a lot of work to be done before I could search and see maxima 
documents on a wiki. I'm not aware of any library I could use other than 
installing maxima along with the web server...

http://maxima.sourceforge.net/docs/manual/maxima_13.html

This is interesting too to get the idea, but requires maxima to be 
installed on the wiki server (this could be a clue there are no libraries).

not really what I'm looking for but near.

Ideally I'd like to have searchable math notes on the web that I can use 
in a math program.

In order of priority I'd like to:
- put my math notes on a wiki and
- be able to use them on a math program

First thing seems easy with matjax but sharing any first hand experience 
would be appreciated.
Since eg. maybe there are some WYSWYG tools or whatever... and mathml 
doesn't seem a comfortable option (xml) or there is a more suited wiki...

I could compromise on second thing just attaching maxima files to the 
wikipage even if I'll have to keep them in sync, but at least I'll build 
up a library of maxima files that I can search together with some 
documentation.
