We should have "important projects" that have a mentor and are well thought out etc. Assumptions would be an example. We should have more of those. There is a wiki history, we can put the authors back. The first section should be very polished projects. The second section should be less polished projects, probably without mentors. Then we should have another section that is more of a dump of ideas. But we should still remove bad ideas, just keep things that make sense if a student is interested in developing the idea further. I think that's still very valuable. Ondrej -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
