Hi Alexander and Gurshabad, Thanks for your interest in JSoC and in particular for considering to help with dealing with ODEs in Julia. The two issues linked by Gurshabad are indeed the most relevant ones, although I think they are also a bit outdated. In ODE.jl we had some developments in the last year and in particular Mauro's PR will improve the situation with respect to (explicit) RK solvers quite a bit. So I am not sure to what extent the project ideas formulated in those two issues are still relevant. It has also been suggested to add an ODE solver to Base. Personally I am not very fond of this idea, but I know that others were in favor in the past and there might still be interest in doing so.
I hope all of that doesn't sound too discouraging! There is certainly plenty of stuff to do for ODEs in Julia, but I wanted to put the two issues into context of recent developments. Best, Alex.
