Cooperative repositories for formal proofs a wiki-based solution

Abstract

We present a new framework for the online development of formalized mathematics. This framework allows wiki-style collaboration while providing users with a rendered and browsable version of their work. We describe a prototype based on Coq, its web interface as implemented by the second author, and a modified version of the MediaWiki code-base. We discuss open issues such as dependencies and repository consistency. We explain limitations of the current prototype and we give a perspective towards a more robust solution. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
