Main goal:
document various ways of using Maxima in CoCalc
add more ways

Stuff to do:
install latest version without waiting on upgrade in SageMath
have versions for various Common Lisp implementations?
The "Lisp" page on the Maxima website says:
Maxima can be compiled with SBCL, Clisp, CCL, GCL, CMUCL, ECL, Scieneer Common Lisp (SCL) and Allegro Common Lisp (ACL).
In particular it would be nice to provide
Clozure Common Lisp (CCL, previously openmcl)
Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL)
Embedded Common Lisp (ECL)
document how to install and use Maxima-Jupyter in CoCalc
note: so far it cannot work with ECL-based Maxima, such as the one shipped with SageMath
work on improving Maxima support in CoCalc sagews worksheets
If you're interested in joining the effort, contact me so I can add you as a collaborator in this CoCalc project.
Maxima-Jupyter in CoCalc
The idea would be to install: https://github.com/robert-dodier/maxima-jupyter
The README has some hints.
A preliminary step is to install QuickLisp: https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/
