I specialize in computer algebra systems and would like to do what I can to keep MAXIMA alive. I worked with FORMAC, a PL/I add-on for IBM mainframes a few years ago and am saddened to note that now it is completely dead. The home site for MAXIMA is supposed to be ftp://math.utexas.edu:pub, but it hasn't been responding lately. I would like to work on MAXIMA, and perhaps even get it restored to the ports collection.
