Great. Did you build it using GCL or Clisp?

For the time being I don't think you need any of the changes
to ZWiki. These mostly related to the new left sidebar outline
navigation which you aren't using on Doyen (at least not yet).

I have updated both the ZWiki and LatexWiki repositories
on MathAction:

http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/MathActionRepository

I recommend that you just start with the changes in the
LatexWiki archive. These changes should be relatively safe
and should give you the Maxima interface without much
trouble.

You should also update your stylesheet file for the
definitions used by Maxima. You can get that here:

http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/stylesheet.css

Look for the entries

#maximalabel
#maximacode
#maximaoutput
#maximainput
#maximacode pre

Let me know if you have any problems - of course there
is likely to be the usual problems with paths etc.

The changes to ZWiki have the potential to break a few things
if they are applied to a version substantially different
than what we are running on MathAction. Until/unless you want
the left sidebar thing, I think you can ignore these changes
for now.

Finally, be aware that I have not completed recently any fully
and separate install from the darcs ZWiki and LatexWiki
repositories so I am not 100% sure they will build a working
system. Be cautious. Sorry, not enough time... as usual :(
And of course, please let me know if you find something missing
from the repository.

Regards,
Bill Page.
