[Building Sakai] Maths integration FCKeditor Sakai

[Daniel Merino]

Hi, Alan.

I have been testing the WIRIS Equation Editor the last days and it's a 
great tool. In my opinion, is worth its prize. Also, they have an 
awesome algebraic calculator.

However, in our college we don't expect this feature to be used too 
much, so I have managed to install a GPL solution.

The LAMS Equation Editor 
(http://wiki.lamsfoundation.org/display/lamsdocs/FCKEditor+Equation+Editor+Plugin) 
works fine. You just need to change the LAMS FCKEditor path for the 
Sakai's FCKEditor path in the install steps and it's pretty easy to make 
it work.

Hope this helps.
Best regards.
