[Building Sakai] Sakai & MathJax

[Zhen Qian]

Hi, Hylke:

Great to hear from you! The idea of integrate of Sakai with MathJax is
definitely of great interest to Sakai community and has been discussed a
couple of times. You can find the latest discussion on this following wiki
page[1].

Last time we tried is with MathJax v1.0. I believe there is a concern with
the library loading time. I haven't tried the lastest v1.1 yet. I am glad to
report any new findings afterwards.

Thanks,

- Zhen
