Hi,

Now that my semester is winding down, I would like to learn to
contribute more actively to SAGE.  I do need a little hand-holding
when it comes to hg and submitting patches.  I think it would be best
if I started with a very small project to learn the mechanics of
contributing, and then I will get more ambitious.

Perhaps someone can suggest a little project?  Currently I am most
interested and/or competent in the following areas:

1) Integrating polymake/cddlib.  I do a lot of heavy-duty exact convex
hull computations.  I would like some sort of linear programming
capability in SAGE - cddlib supplies that but I am not sure it is a
great package for that.

2) Integrating PHCpack.  I have already done a crude rewrite of
phcparser.py so that it works in blackbox mode (the '-b' option).  It
would be nice to add some graphical functions as in PHCmaple -
http://www.ima.umn.edu/~leykin/PHCmaple/.

3) Integrating/maintaining the biopython package.  Probably no one
else here cares about that but I'll toss it out just in case.  I teach
a bioinformatics course and I want to use SAGE for my course next
spring.

4) Differential equations.  I teach ODEs and linear algebra a lot, and
I would like to someday incorporate SAGE into my teaching.

Cheers,
