The problem is I really do not have a lot of code written. I could fish out my old assignments from my intro CS course (in Java) several years back, which would probably not be very good, since I have learned quite a lot since then. Would you say not very good code is better than no code? I just started doing a course on Coursera and did the first assignment, which deals with an interesting problem of Percolation<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percolation_theory>. Nothing fancy in terms of coding, and it was also in Java, but it might be the best I have. I had this idea to rewrite it in Python and expand its API to deal with a more general case I was wondering about. I guess I would just push it on github and work on it. It will probably be a work in progress though when you look at it.
I really appreciate all the help you gave me. Quick question if you have the time. I am working on my proposal right now. I think I will propose to implement similar functionality as parts of FeynCalc, but ultimately focusing on building it on top of (as in using) current SymPy modules, like tensor, named groups, gamma matrices, maybe some algebraic geometry. Any such project would probably end up expanding, or fixing a lot of small things across multiple modules and then using those to build a new module to deal with field theories. I feel though for the three months available over the summer, it will likely have minimal functionality, since most of the time would be spend on tweaking different parts of the current code to fit my needs. I think this would be really useful, since it will (hopefully) provide a solid base to expand the "field theory" module after that. My concern is that it might sound like I will not accomplish anything substantial by the end of the summer, making it a bad project review-wise. Any thoughts?
