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.
