I would like to inform the member of the list here is that Maxima is
now running as a facebook application.
Facebook Maxima Application page
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=9745594701
and the Maxima application
http://apps.facebook.com/maximaphp/
The developer of this application is Bowo Prasetyo who aslo developed this one
MaximaPHP (Bowo Prasetyo) http://www.my-tool.com/mathematics/maximaphp
"A PHP program to access Maxima on the server interactively from a website."
That is on the main Maxima information page.
Facebook is a social networking tool and especially very popular among
college students. I am trying to incorporate this tool in my teaching
and I thought that Maxima will be serve as a good advanced calculator
for engineering calculations.
I also have a course that is mostly based upon Maxima

Please give us our feedback on how we should make Maxima more useful
for its user community
