Hello Aaron, Thanks for clarifying. My most of the work is around Solvers module (but I am ready for any new things as well). I see that good amount of work is pending in SymEngine solvers <https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2019-Ideas#implement-solvers-for-symengine> and Ruby wrapper <https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2019-Ideas#improve-ruby-wrappers> . When I see the SymEngine Ruby wrapper, I feel that we need better documentation, examples and need to update (refactor) the code (the last commit was on 12 Oct 2016 on symengine.rb <https://github.com/symengine/symengine.rb> ). I have gone through some related links :
- Ruby wrappers for symengine <http://sciruby.com/blog/2015/08/17/ruby-wrappers-for-symengine/> - SymEngine's Python Wrappers and SymPy-SymEngine Integration <https://github.com/ShikharJ/GSoC-2017-Work-Report> - SymEngine-Solvers-Progress-report <https://github.com/symengine/symengine/wiki/GSoC-2017-Solvers-Progress-report> Here I focused on SymEngine Ruby wrapper, because I had completed the GSoC 2017 project under SciRuby <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2017/projects/5267803426783232/> after completion of GSoC 2016 under SymPy <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2016/projects/6728916672708608/> . Please let me know if you have any priority task that should be done in this Development Grants.
