I understand that MAXIMA, a computer algebra system, has been pulled
from the ports collection because it wouldn't compile with the latest
release of FreeBSD.

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.

With Best Regards,

Sam Allen
