Re: [Help-glpk] [ANN] Mathprog Web IDE available

[Robbie Morrison]

Hello all

I briefly raised this idea with Jeff Kantor but
perhaps a wider discussion could be useful.

The idea stems from the Perl plain old
documentation format:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_Old_Documentation

We now have two websites that take MathProg
models.  And both can display additional
information about the current model in HTML.

It might be useful to develop either parsable
information located within the MathProg comments
section.  Or to develop a container protocol
whereby the MathProg and the HTML (and anything
else) are stored in some kind of consistent
way.  That container could be an XML dialect of
varying sophistication.  Or it could be a zip
format with individual files and with consistent
file naming/extensions and other conventions.

I guess the follow up question is do we want to
establish a models repository.  For instance like
the user contributions that Matlab stores, to take
just one example.

Just some thoughts, particularly given that this
is probably an opportune moment to consider such
things.

cheers, Robbie
