   Hello,

   I am looking for a scientific publishing tool, and also for a collaborative platform.
   At a first glance, wordpress could be a good basis for these two purposes.

   I was wondering whether this idea had already been prospected. Could anybody share some informations over this topic ?

   Cheers,

   JohnLeM

   Here is an excellent example of a very successful WP blog with *lots* of scientific content, and a fair amount of collaboration. There are many others, this is one of the most prolific examples (Terrence Tao happens to be one of the most well-known mathematicians).

   You might want to start with the LaTeX Plugin for WordPress, if you want to publish articles that have a lot of mathematical content.

   Pingback if you want a longer blogroll (or anything else) :)

   Cheers!

   Avanimisra,

   Thanks a lot, I did not knew this blog, it is a remarkable and useful of wordpress. It is very close to what I was imagining for my own purposes.

   I have a couple of questions :
   1) Indexation of information in tao's blog seems to rely mainly over categories. Categories are a nice indexation way, but could be nicely completed through an arborescent like indexation.

   For instance, I would like to have

   http://www.myblog.org with some classical posts and archives, but would also include

   http://www.myblog.org/math, that would also have its own post and archives, that would also includes
   http://www.myblog.org/math/pde
   http://www.myblog.org/math/stochastic

   etc...Is that easy to achieve using wordpress ?

   2) I did not knew that Latex was wordpress compatible. Thanks very much. Latex can be used also in comments ?

   thanks again for these informations
