 2. SnapPea SnapPea is a program for creating and studying hyperbolic 3-manifolds (http://www.geometrygames.org/SnapPea-old/index.html). It seems to be widely used by computational topologists. AFAIK it can deal with ideal triangulations, compute volume, has a census of hyperbolic

I very much hope Algebraic Topology will be a theme at Sage Days 15: http://wiki.sagemath.org/days15 I would like to work on Algebraic Topology at SD15. I'm talking to some topologists here at Harvard next week to see what they would like to see in Sage. David

I am defintely hoping to make it to SD15, I think those dates work for me. Not counting the joint meetings, which is more about PR, I have never been to a Sage Days so I am really looking forward to it. I have some interest in adding support for some topology-related things for dynamical

Having glanced at the other projects this one seems to be the most promising, but it certainly seems rather strange regarding build system and so on. I.e. I did not see any obvious way to build the kernel as a library for example. There is no meaningful documentation, but a longer worded
