I'm not sure why pydy.org was 404'ing, it is fine now. It is hosted on a AWS t1.micro instance, so maybe it just got briefly overloaded. > You should also contact the SymPy list, as they will probably be the > mentoring organization that you will apply to (unless you guys have > some project that would live outside the SymPy code base, in which > case, it can possibly also go under the umbrella of another project, > such as Python). With regards to the mentoring organization, we are interested in development of some things which are related to sympy.physics.mechanics but are not symbolic in nature and as such might not make sense to be part of sympy. Where the boundary is exactly I am not certain, but I think the line is probably somewhere near the point where sympy expressions get output as C code that is then compiled to do some sort of numerical study. We have some ideas of things we'd like to do be able to (in a generic sense) with this numerical code, and it doesn't seem like this belongs in sympy. So we were considering creating a project that depends on sympy and specifcally sympy.physics.mechanics but isn't necessarily part of it. This has code maintenance issues though, so we should verify that this is absolutely necessary before we go this route. If people have thoughts on this, I would love to hear them. > You should also read > https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2013-application-template.

I have added a few ideas related to the sympy.physics.mechancis to the bottom of the GSoC-2013 ideas list. I have added my name to the list of potential mentors and would be interested in mentoring something related to common subexpression elimination or sympy.physics.mechanics.
