Hello,

I've updated the roadmap at

   http://sage.math.washington.edu:9002/sage_trac/roadmap

to get us to sage-2.0 in a reasonable way.   We have four weeks left
until I want to release sage-2.0.

These are the main non-optional tasks listed there.  Can anyone volunteer
to help on any of these?

== Patches ==
 * incorporate all athe patches and bugfixes people sent me in Dec during the 
break (e.g., a bunch from K. Minola, Robert Bradshaw, Joel Mohler)

== Building and Accessibility Improvements ==

 * much more build testing and fixes for older Linux distro's, os's, etc. (in 
particular, make numpy build robustly (i.e., system-blas off by default on 
linux since it never works anyways)).

 * MS Windows -- support Cygwin fully (and only cygwin)

== New components ==
 * openssl and pyssl

== New code ==
 * include first version of Yi's distributed SAGE
 * include and test Kantor's ODE solver
 * Import and export of worksheets and notebooks to latex, html, and plain text.

== Optimization ==
 * Optimize matrices.  In the file matrix/docs.py is a list of base rings where 
specialized matrix classes should be implemented.  More specialized vector 
space and free module classes also need to be implemented in SageX.
 * Implement in SageX the following ring elements:
     * CC -- arbitrary precision complex numbers
     * IR -- interval arithmetic ring
     * k[x] -- polynomial ring over arbitrary ring
 * First version of FLINT (Hart and Harvey's C library)

== SAGE Notebook ==
 * Import and export of worksheets and notebooks to latex, html, and plain text.

== Documentation ==
 * First steps Documentation: A 15-page introduction, like Magma's "First 
Steps" guide.
 * The programming guide: needs lots of work
 * Reference manual -- needs to be reworked, and have a SAGE notebook version.

== Quality ==
 * Look at all "todo"'s in the code.
 * Fix or address all bugs in the online bug tracker.
