A message from Florent and Nicolas:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sage developers,
After months of discussions and experiments we, MuPAD-Combinat
developers, have finally reached a conclusion:
We are joining you!
Thank you for all the support you readily provided us. This decision
is a risky one for us: it will be a massive investment to migrate our
code and, even more important, our community. We really count on your
support to make this profitable for both sides in the long run!
In the coming days, we will start building a roadmap by posting
tickets on Sage trac for both:
- sage low level features we would like to rely on
- features we want to port
We spent a lot of time on the design of MuPAD-Combinat (which also
means we are the most critical about some parts of it :-)). We very
much hope that the experience gained there will be recycled and built
upon during the migration. Many design decisions are (regrettably) not
written down; so if you want to help, please consult with us, so that
we can discuss what is the most natural translation into Sage!
Some pointers:

- http://wiki.sagemath.org/combinat/
- http://sagetrac.org/sage_trac/milestone/sage-combinat/
Finally, we would like to take this occasion to thank the MuPAD
developers for their continuous support throughout the years of our
fruitful collaboration with them.
Looking forward good fun together!
Florent and Nicolas
