A lot of work for little purpose
editA few people are putting a lot of work in to this page which almost surely will be either deleted or cut down considerably.
- All the material describing open source and its purported advantages does not belong here, and undoubtedly has been properly covered elsewhere.
- The page Mathematical software contains links to Wikipedia lists of computer algebra systems, statistical packages, etc.
- There is a Category:Free mathematics software that encompasses most of the packages on this page.
So the value-added in this page would be:
- Simply to enumerate which packages are open source
- Perhaps add new information on each package
My suggestion is to put all that effort into updating the individual pages for the packages themselves. Then, perhaps, convert this page into a list of links.
Freemat

No Table of Contents
editIf this is going to be a long list that has categories, descriptions, etc. it should really have a Contents. Wikispherion (talk) 21:35, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- The TOC renders on the right-hand side, it seems. Maybe you can play with
__TOC__
to see if that repositions the TOC? -- M.boli (talk) 00:16, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
