Hi Shiomi > > Nice. But why the erratic capital letters in the middle and end of the name?
The name itself comes from "homework." Since it is on the web, they decided to call it "webwork." Very clever, right? :) As for the capitalization, I don't remember the reasoning behind that. (Although I'm sure I was once told.) This may have been a primitive attempt at graphic design. In any case, both the name and its styling pre-date my involvement in the project. > I see WeBWorK has a Freshmeat.net page: > > http://freshmeat.net/projects/openwebwork > > However, I don't see any releases there.

We do maintain a sourceforge page where releases are posted, http://sourceforge.net/projects/openwebwork/ However, we strongly encourage users to get the code from svn. > > Is there any online demo for it? > Yes, first many of the live courses at https://courses.webwork.maa.org/webwork2 support guest login where you can see essentially the student view, try some live homework problems, etc. Also, there is a demo course at https://math.webwork.rochester.edu/webwork2/maa101 where you can login as a professor to see the instructor interface. The course is refreshed every night, so don't worry about breaking anything. You can log in as profa with password profa, as profb with password profb, etc. However, this course is on a development server, and so some things may not work correctly. Also, for any faculty out there (college, university, hs, etc) - if you are interested in obtaining a course site for use in one of your courses, contact me off-list and we may be able to find hosting for you. Thanks, Jason PS: Shlomi, I notice you (or at least your email address) are based in Israel. You might be interested to know that we have at least one user in Israel. A pressing issue for us is localization/internationalization, and as we get more interest from non-English speaking regions, we hope to get a critical mass of people who can work on that issue, do translations, etc. This is something we know very little about. > Regards, > > Shlomi Fish > > -- > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ > Best Introductory Programming Language - http://shlom.in/intro-lang > > <rindolf> She's a hot chick.
