There appears to be at least two reasonable ways to collect data needed to seed this effort.
One way is to collect details of current implementations. To this end I am building an instrumented version of Axiom with low-level trace facilities. This will capture all of the supporting algorithms (like GCDs) as well as the higher levels. It will also reveal details not mentioned in papers. The second way is to create a lattice of published papers and their references. This will show a partial order of the publications and the order of introduction of improvements. Following the reference chain minimizes the publication delays. To this end I've started a review of the Axiom bibliography. I hope to put up a web page that shows the publication lattice as it unfolds. More to come.
