Online Journal
1497Many popular online sites, such as OEIS, for example, have online refereed journals.
When this site was in beta, this idea also was suggested for Mapleprimes.
It would be great if it was finally implemented. There are enough people here now for a good editorial board. I suggest Robert Israel as the Chief Editor.
I already have some stuff written that can't be published anywhere else. For example, my article about using assembler for creating dll and using them in Maple through external calling. Currently it is in the Application Center - but it is not the right place for it - it is not an application, it is an article.
I'm sure that other people also have things written that would fill first few issues. For instance, I would be interested to see Joe Riel's article about undocummented Maple commands.

nice suggestion
Nice suggestion, I like the idea do see a periodic sample of interesting things (so I am not sure what the criteria should be).
However I would expect that Maple itself has to contribute (beyond pure advertising) and there is some 'overlapping' with the Application Center and other things (and certainly they would not intend to hit somebody on his nose).
Beyond that my gut feeling is not to suggest persons in public without having cleared that. It is - mildly spoken - like assigning tasks to innocents :-)
The challenge in the long run might be to mine for those not actively posting here, certainly there are lots of them and they would be quite valuable for others (and Maplesoft) through their knowledge and their solutions and ideas ...
But I like your idea.
Lack of time
Axel,
You are right that I shouldn't suggest anybody without consulting with him first. It's just I don't have much time at the moment - and I am going to leave this site again for some time. This may be the last post. I just wanted to say what I wanted to say before leaving.

Share your articles as blog posts
The best way to share your Maple articles are as blog posts here on MaplePrimes. We don't have a refereed journal, but that should not stop you from sharing your content with the community here.

Over the weekend I worked on a blog entry. I attempted to write it in LaTeX, then use htlatex to convert it to html and insert the whole thing into my blog. That alas, didn't work. It displayed properly in the input window, but not at all in the preview window. Guess we're stuck with the restricted tags and hand editing.
trusted users?
In Drupal it is possible to allow other choices on the "Input format" selector based on the user role. I think in Mapleprimes, all users are the same type after they have 2? points.
It should be possible to assign some users (possibly based on points 50+, 100+ ?) to a "trusted user role" that is allowed to post full HTML in blog posts. At least, I think the reason for allowing only "filtered HTML" is for security.

yes, but
I believe Will gave me that priviledge; I do have a "full HTML" option. I had used it before we changed to the new editor and it worked then (though I didn't try it with the output of htlatex, which uses a lot of tags). Not sure why I had problems this time, maybe it works on a subset of full html.
Hmm. I think I see the issue. htlatex generates a cascaded style sheet for its generated html. That is, given the source file myblog.tex, I get myblog.html and myblog.css. Is it possible to embed the css into the html? My html knowledge is minimal.
embed css
Presumably, using:
<style type="text/css">
css statements
</style>
within the head (<HEAD> </HEAD>), should work.
And the math problems
The mecanism to generate gif files for 2d math through the <maple> tag is still unstable (hence not reliable for serious documentation purposes in my opinion): One day I post and get it display right (with some fine tuning of the input), another day this mechanism does not work, showing broken code or a piece of the formula. Yet another day it works again...
I find that the mechanism latex-like code -> png used elsewhere works better.
online refereed journal
It's a good idea. I think it would be similar to arxiv.org in principle. Instead of refereeing a community verified and updated method probably would be a good choice, similarly to some type of wikipedia. Very recently I read about a plan about a wikipedia where community can edit but there is an editorial board (above 500 leaves?, and/or phd degree?) which makes controll on the content.
Concerning the math typing problems, I use a firefox add-on, textheworld, http://thewe.net/tex/ which instantly transforms latex to image. It works on internet based emails also, so for example I can send formulas easily in my gmail letters.

Following that link I have arrived at the site of LatexRender, which states:
I wonder why not using that script for Drupal here?
