Well, OK, trying this can't hurt :-) However, I'd like to ask Aaron to voice his final opinion on this matter. > > We shall allow users to create a account on Sympy. > > And give them access to the Sympy Practical Guide first. > > They shall use it any time they want.(since it is > available online) > > They shall go through the practical guide in the manner we > thought of > 1. Starting from code conventions to > different complex modules Not sure about this point: this would be useful for people who want to do some hacking, but not that useful for those who are just interested in learning how to use SymPy.

Well, I *think* it might be useful :-) Again, I'd ask the principal developers to provide their opinion on this matter. > How is this?

Yes, sure, looking forward to seeing the updated design :-) Sergiu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
