Yes, I'm a member of the mailing list too but my maxima knowledge level is 
just average. I'll take a look at that book and see if there's any help 
wanted.

Yes, I'm sure that would be good for the document, by mine is just a 
translation with some notation extras (basically, all maxima functions are 
noted by () ). I don't know if I should make those other changes.

Maybe I could, hmm..., write an alternate document with a lot of changes so 
that there're no copyright issues? I could then isert some other references 
to TeXmacs itself and the Maxima interface...

OK, I'll se what I can do.

Thanks for your answer!
