Hi Hunter, for better or worse I'm opposed to including Mockmma
in Maxima. From my point of view it's a separate project that is built
on Maxima, but doesn't contribute to Maxima itself.
I think it's great that people are creating projects based on Maxima --
there are several at present. That's terrific, and I hope they continue
to do so. I'm hesitant to make a sweeping statement, but in general it's
probably better to develop them as separate projects.
All the best, & thanks for your interest in Maxima.
