They are always in need of people working on the code.

Can the code for backtranslating Nemeth to MathML be posted on GitHub so
that other people can look at it and possibly help to improve it?

students, especially those in middle and senior high school in basic to
advanced courses. We want to encourage our students to use electronica
devices when possible so they may interact with their teachers and peers
with less lag time. I am especially thinking of those students who will not
be going on to pursue careers in STEM fields and thus be less likely to
dedicate themselves to learning MathML and other languages to produce and
access their work. Certainly others working at higher level math may be
interested, but this type of application I can see being immediately useful
to pre college students. Should you have a beta version, contact me
directly.
