I guess there is a community of mathematicians interested by cross experiences. but I cannot point you to any specific person. I carbon-copy my answer to the amaya mailing list www-amaya@w3.org in case any reader will be interested. We're currently preparing a new release 2.1 for the next week. That release will include improvements in the MathML support and we will continue to improve it more and more in the future. > We haven't decided for sure to use Amaya. Maybe it's too risky. We'd like > to wait a few years until the development tools are more mature and the > popular browsers support MathML. But what can we do, we need to develop > our course this summer! I had hoped to use Amaya for develpment and > techexplorer as a browser plug-in, but I have not been able to use > techexplorer to display my test lesson properly. Popular browsers announced they want to support MathML is near future. I don't believe there is a risk to use MathML because it's an opened *standard*. > > Thank you for your efforts! > > Ernie Fasse > > P.S., I hope you don't mind the personal message.
