I have installed jsmath fonts on Windows XP and gone through the examples of jsmath using Firefox 2.0.0.14. The quality of typesetted math is reasonable, sometimes good. Rendering is a bit slow for pages with heavy math or too much structure (as the character tables).

Speed and some issues with particular browsers are mentioned in the jsmath site, but may be that they are not too much relevant for the case of a Maple wiki. Probably some usage experience will be needed to see whether this is true. Ie, it seems to me worth trying.

Additional testing: with Opera 9.25 (also Win XP) I observe better quality  of typesetting and faster rendering for the above tests. But in practice it has serious alignment problems (I see them in some equations here).

With Opera 9.5 (Win XP) the misalignment problem is solved by not displaying some equations...

Even the much that I admire Robert's site, the question is about the best option at present: an individually maintained site or a collaborative (wiki-like) one.

Each option has pro and cons. An individual site may be of more consistent quality,
but it may require a lot of effort to keep it updated. How long could the author  be on top of it?

Indeed, this links to the recurrent issue of the Maple wiki , also here and...

I have no idea about MoinMoin, eg how it is like to enter math content. But time passes and there is no definition about the unofficial Maple wiki either.  So, it may be worthwhile taking your offer.

No, I am not familiar with these algorithms,  eg efficiency  issues  that might be involved in using real some constants by default as [1,sqrt(2),sqrt(3),Pi,ln(2),ln(3),Zeta(3),Zeta(5)] and not others. So, I could guess what you say but better ask.
