Oh, that tutorial! :)

But ???

All of the original book volumes have been online and on the Axiom
Wiki as editable pamphlet files since about October last year when
I first implemented pamphlet file support on MathAction.

See:

http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/book--main--1

Volume 1 is here:

The most recent comment was by Frithjof Schulze just yesterday.

On ../AxiomDocumentation it says that this are working drafts.
Doesn't that mean that it are the newest versions? I was reading
the tutorial and thought about changing some things. Later I saw
that in Axiom Silver there is a newer and better version of the
tutorial. Does it make any sense to work on this one?

------------

Unfortunately it seems that no one beside me was subscribed to
to the book--main--1 wiki page.

Apparently it has not been kept up to date with the version in
the source distribution. :(

But perhaps you will recall that work I did with

http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/book--main--1/Endpaper3

involving GraphViz with hyperref links to the source?

----------

I thought you meant something like the tutorial that was done by
NAG in Texplorer. I remember now that way back in the early days
I did prepare a TeXmacs version of that tutorial by importing the
original tex source and then editing back in the actual Axiom
commands.

The pdf version of this tutorial is here:

I think it could be easily adapted for use as a set of easialy
updated tutorial web pages on the wiki.
