Re: [Texmacs-dev] TeXmacs server

[Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas]

Hi,

Is nice to see the TeXmacs Wiki idea. None of the Wikis I know have a 
nice WYSIWYG/WYSIWYM to enable mathematical writing. I was thinking in 
TeXmacs as an external editor of some of the existing wikis (my prefered 
one is Moin). In this case, we would need some kind of server client 
protocol to talk with the Wiki saying to it wich will be the kind of 
content that wil be added and may be some kind of mime type or 
preferences in our wiki account will say what is our prefered editor for 
this kind of content. This would mean also that we would need a general 
system for seeing differences between changes in documents, in a more 
general fashion that the actual Wikis. May be wikis based on SVN, like 
Trac or SVNwiki would be more suited for this kind of vision. In the 
case of the contents generated by TeXmacs, would be nice to have the 
posibility to put some kind of forms for the input in CAS sessions, so 
the web user of TeXmacs Documents could use CAS via web and see the 
output in a nice fashion.

¿How you envision that the effort of TeXmacs Wiki could be integrated 
with previous/other wiki engines?

Cheers and nice to see you here again Joris :)

Pdt: About translations, I would like to say something more, as one of 
the main translators of spanish documentation. The Wiki Way is the Way 
for me to make the translations easily available for a lot of people and 
integrated with localiced versions of TeXmacs, but we need some kind of 
"transwiki" wich can say wich paragraphs are in correspondence with 
original doc, and wich ones are outdated. Po4a has a lot of nice 
reflexions on the translation of Free Software issues.
