I've been poking around in the ob-maxima.el and maxima.el files and I
believe that maxima.el provides the commands necessary to simulate
session support in org-babel. Unfortunately my elisp skills are
rudimentary and I don't know how to write a function that when called
by C-c C-c in the source block will pass each line of the source block
to the function maxima-send-region and insert the output into the
results portion of the org file using maxima-insert-last-output (both
of these functions are provided by maxima.el). If anyone can point me
in the right direction for a similar function that I can modify, or
can provide a commented example of how this would be done, that would
be great. Thanks,
Derek

Hi Derek,
Take a look at org-babel-execute:js in ob-js.el, it performs a check of
the :session header argument, and then either performs external
evaluation as currently implemented in org-babel-execute:maxima, or it
performs session evaluation as you have described.
Implementation may be as simple as passing the "body" of the code block
to the `maxima-send-region' command and returning the results.
Also, you may want to look at the contribution instructions on Worg [1],
because if you are not able to sign the FSF copyright assignment papers
we will not be able to include your contribution.
Best of luck and let me know if I can help in any way -- Eric
