Hi Vaishnavi, I don't think a discussion forum would be required. We already have this mailing list and the Gitter channel(https://gitter.im/sympy/sympy) for that. I don't see a point in adding another discussion platform. Some of the other suggestions might be useful, but I'm not sure how much SymPy can be useful in Machine Learning, Neural Networks, etc. and it'll be better if the users learn the use of Spyder from Spyder docs, not from SymPy. Their docs can explain the use of Spyder way better than we can.
If you would like to help with improving the website, there was a recent discussion regarding improving the website at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sympy/7zNYN-Q7TPI. We can use some of your ideas and some more in the 'redesign'. Also, I think it will be better to keep the focus of the project just on the website if we're doing that.
