[kde-edu]: Dylon: New developer in training (Dylon Edwards)

[Aleix Pol]

KFormula is for drawing expressions and it is good as it is.

Maybe you want to use kformula in your app, which is something different (as
kalgebra does and will do even more).

Well, the flake should be made anyway imho, so maybe you could do it first
for maxima and then abstract it.

Not really, but will follow your steps, maybe we could create a kalgebra
backend. it would be pretty straightforward since kalgebra already does
MathML.
