proposal to modify op and args



Dear Robert,

I am just thinking of applying for funding for Maxima-development
and I write to you because you are the most active replier in the mailing list 
communication.
I work in teachers education in mathematics at the university and I want to 
evaluate and adapt 
Maxima for usage in schools and make Maxima more popular in mathematics 
education. 
Basic objectives:
- XML-Language File Support an easy language adaption for Maxima Newbies even 
in developing countries like South Africa.
- Integration of Worksheet management in analogy to Maple with the focus on 

Funding should be possible for 3 years with the possibility to do the PhD at 
the university of Koblenz-Landau in  Germany. 
PhD-Subject is related to Maxima Project.
Maybe I will write to the whole mailing list later and asked for active Maxima 
programmers, when funding comes closer to realisation.

What do you think about that idea?

 best wishes,

Engelbert Niehaus
