There's some overlap in personnel and interests between
Maxima and Axiom...

Announcing Axiom 3.0 BETA
-------------------------
This is to inform you that the free computer algebra system Axiom has now
reached a very usable state.
Axiom is a general purpose Computer Algebra system. It is useful for research
and development of mathematical algorithms. It defines a strongly typed,
mathematically correct type hierarchy. It has a programming language and a
built-in compiler.
Axioms homepage is at http://axiom.axiom-developer.org/
Instructions to download Axiom for the various platforms, including Linux and
MS Windows can be found at
http://page.axiom-developer.org/zope/mathaction/AxiomDownload
The licenses under which the various parts of Axiom are released can be found
at
http://page.axiom-developer.org/zope/mathaction/Copyright
Clearly, Axiom is not free of bugs. For some of them, patches are
proposed. However, these patches have not been applied yet. It is easy to do it
yourself, as can be seen from
http://page.axiom-developer.org/zope/mathaction/AxiomDocumentationAndCommunity#bugsandpatches
Since the wish list
http://page.axiom-developer.org/zope/mathaction/WishList
is long, we decided to provide bounties, i.e. small amounts of money, for
people willing to implement some of these features. Among others, we need
people who would
* like to integrate a LaTeX-rendering engine into our Wiki
http://page.axiom-developer.org/zope/mathaction
* know how to resurrect the connection to the alternative compiler Aldor
* know enough Lisp to make graphics work on MS Windows
* implement some of the missing mathematical algorithms.
