[Nfb-science] MathDaisy 1.0 Released

[Michael Whapples]

I also think this is of great interest. I have a few extra questions 
(may be not so much related to mathdaisy itself):
Are there any daisy readers which can cope with the maths? Even if none 
exist now at least there is a product which can produce the maths in 
daisy and so helps us bring pressure on the daisy reader producers to 
add math support.
How might I as a blind user produce notes which I can then convert to 
daisy using mathdaisy?

I'm sure there might be more but can't think of them now.
