-Tim thought a lot about the "foundations":AxiomDevelopmentFoundations of 
Axioms development model. Axiom development is done via Arch, and Tim also 
explained "why":ArchRationale. "Using Arch":ArchUsage is not that difficult, 
fortunately.

This page is intended for Axiom developers and those who might want to
become developers. Here you can get an overview of what to do, and
where to discuss issues with others.

Tim Daly has proposed the following "development 
model":AxiomDevelopmentFoundations
for Axiom.

Current Axiom development work is archived using the Arch source code
repository. Tim also explained "why":ArchRationale Arch was choosen for
this task. "Using Arch":ArchUsage is not difficult.

If you have any difficulty with Arch, you can also access the same
source code via "darcs":http://abridgegame.org/darcs. See MathActionRepository.

-  Sure you want to "fix":DebuggingAxiom one of "these":IssueTracker, don't 
you? Alternatively, you can browse through <A name="WesterCritique">
-"A Critique of the Mathematical Abilities of CA 
Systems":http://www.math.unm.edu/~wester/cas_review.html,</A> 
-and add those to the bug list, Axiom still cannot do, or worse, does 
incorrectly.
  One tasks of the Axiom developers is to "analyze":DebuggingAxiom
"known problems":IssueTracker and to propose patches. You are cordially
invited to join the hunt for solutions!

The second task is to add to the "bug list":IssueTracker those things
Axiom should do but still cannot do, or worse, does incorrectly.

If you are new to Axiom or computer algebra in general, you might
find it useful to browse through <A name="WesterCritique">
"A Critique of the Mathematical Abilities of CA Systems" by
"Michael Wester":http://www.math.unm.edu/~wester/cas_review.html,</A>

-Yes, Axiom is written in boot and common lisp. I wrote most, if not all,
