Well, html pages are generated from the reference manual and
those pages are packaged with Maxima and wxMaxima, and are
also posted on the Maxima web site.

There was a Maxima wiki which had some useful stuff on it.
However due to changes at the hosting site (Sourceforge) it is down.
That reminds me; I need to send a snapshot to our webmaster.
The wiki was pretty much orthogonal to the reference manual,
which is as it should be, I believe.
I am very hesitant to create a wiki or web site which duplicates
information from the reference manual, except for verbatim copies.
FWIW
