Website for AsciiMath

[adius]

Now that asciimath has finally it's own repo, I was thinking it would be great if asciimath also had its own website.
For example asciimath.org would still be available.
I'd be happy to help you build the website!
We could host it via github pages in it's own repo e.g mathjax/asciimath.org
What do you think?

[pkra]

Sounds great. @jipsen what do you think?

[jipsen]

Yes, that is a good idea. @pkra it's probably best if you or mathjax are the owner, with permission for adius and me to edit.

Some of the info from http://math.chapman.edu/~jipsen/asciimathjax/ may be useful for such a site.

Also, a good test suite for asciimathml would also be great, as well as a short description on how to add user defined symbols.

[pkra]

Sounds good. I'll look into it.

[pkra]

Would you prefer asciimath.org or asciimathml.org?

[jipsen]

asciimath.org might be better since this site may cover both the ASCIIMathML.js script as well as the asciimath input jax.

[drlippman]

I agree.  Better to have name reflect the broad scope of asciimath as an input syntax, rather than being based on the particular implementation of it.  That way the site can document the language syntax and describe all the various implementations.

Alright. I'll ask the powers that be to grab it.

@adius can you shoot me an email at peter.krautzberger@mathjax.org?

[adius]

Had exactly the same thoughts.
asciimath.org is definitely better!

[pkra]

Sorry it took so long. We got the domain, I've added adius to the repository.

[pkra]

Ok, looking through the github pages documentation, I think we need to do this differently.

Github pages need a user account or organization for the CNAME to work. I've created an asciimath organization and the necessary repository. I've added @jipsen @drlippman @adius to the repository. I've created a quick site with the page builder and added a CNAME file.

Anything I've missed?

[pkra]

Also, we might want to consider moving this repository over to the new asciimath organization.

[pkra]

This has been implemented a while ago.
