One of the problems of Wards Wiki is that it's difficult to type many mathematical symbols. The software doesn't appear to support Uni Code very well, many browsers might not have proper fonts installed, and they're a pain to type. (Though... given that this is a technical Wiki, perhaps some better Mathematical Markup would be nice...)
Yes, it's annoying. However, Ridiculous Simplicity Gives Ridiculous Resources.

One workaround is the use of graphics files - see Open Wiki Graphics.
I've been working on using ASCII to encode mathematical and logical thinking for a long time. I do have a simple UNIX tool for generating HTML that has a Greek letter in place of \alpha for instance.... but not the full \TeX thing. Perhaps I could donate some code to this Wiki?

Isn't this how Fortran Language got started?
