I know very well about having separate spaces in my head. :)

Tim, please don't let the apparent "bad temper" of my recent emails
prevent you from asking about this work. (The same applies of course
to everyone else on this list.) I think Kai's work on AxiomUI is
very important to the future of Axiom, unfortunately since the close
of the Google Summer of Code project, Kai has apparently not had much
chance to continue work on this new user interface. We have quite a
lot of information and ideas captured in terms of our exchange of
emails - both on and off the axiom-developer list and I would like
to spend some time distilling it and organizing it on the wiki. If
you have questions about Kai's work, what was actually accomplished
and about the discussion and plans that lead up to it, then that
would help motivate me to do this. And also it might help to
encourage Kai to continue work, when he has time, of course.

Regards,
Bill Page.
