Comment(by jvkersch):
I've been playing with the worksheet for a little while now and it looks
really good. My own interest in using Sage for differential geometry is
more in the area of symbolic computations (if I never have to manipulate a
Riemann tensor ever again I will be a happy man), but I think curves and
surfaces should be developed too and would form an important selling point
for Sage.
Some comments:
* From personal experience, it turns out to be a bit of work to "sagify"
a python class (make sure that it coerces properly, doctests pass, etc.) I
could help with that.
* There is a differential forms class at #9650 that is being merged into
Sage. I see that the representation of tensors in your class is very
similar to the internal representation of forms. As a long term goal
(i.e. not for this ticket) it would be good to have interoperability with
this class and (future) classes for Riemannian geometry in Sage.
