I like the idea of a help system but since there are a number of
interfaces for Maxima perhaps it would be best to create a web help
site. Would there be any interest in creating a wiki for Maxima help or
is there one already that I am not aware of? If this were available then
each interface could have a help button that links to the wiki.
