Yes, as you suggest below, this indeed
+1 on craig, especially the 3th point.
ow I forgot to mention before, I also think that a massive
reorganization would be a bad thing to do since this would be big load
of work, and there are much better things that could get done in that
time. But motivating people to have the newly added stuff
That said, I'm not for some massive reorganization of
the current global namespace, since that wold break a huge amount of
existing code -- both in Sage and out (e.g., the examples at
wiki.sagemath.org/interact).
I definitely agree that reorganizing and/or massively reducing the

Second: I wonder if the constructors for some of the combinatorics

Are there some general guidelines on how to use the namespaces in
sage. Like: which function's should be accesible from which namespace
(global v.s. local and maybe some hierachical structure in the local
namespace).
I think some guidelines on this would improve the userfriendliness of
