A page to summarise and coordinate SAGE development activity.

== Core arithmetic team ==

David Harvey, Martin Albrecht, Joel Mohler, Robert Bradshaw, William Stein

 * Develop new {{{__mul__}}} semantics for rings/algebras using something like {{{ToyQuarternionAlgebraElement}}} as a test case.
 * Migrate {{{_add_}}}, {{{_mul_}}} etc to new {{{_add_sibling}}}, {{{_add_sibling_cdef}}}, framework etc. Intention is to eventually remove {{{_add_}}} everywhere.
 * Change all {{{__add__}}} methods (etc) to use new fast code pathways, pyrex tricks, as studied at SAGE Days 2.
 * Try changing {{{a.parent() == b.parent()}}} conditions to {{{a._parent is b._parent}}} in various places and see what breaks.
 * Write up more entries in WritingFastPyrexCode. (''everyone'')
 * Write a benchmarking module.
 * Optimise pyrex in coercion module.
 * Make Algebra {{{_base_ring}}} into a cdef attribute.
 * Move univariate Polynomial class down to Pyrex, and make it inherit from {{{CommutativeAlgebra}}} instead of {{{CommutativeRing}}}. (''David'')
   * Rewrite polynomials over Z and Z/nZ using direct NTL calls. (''David'')
 * Optimise new integers mod n code using fast pyrex tricks.
 * Wrap NTL finite fields and polynomials over finite fields.
 * Benchmark omalloc. (''Martin'')
 * Linear algebra (perhaps William or Robert want to say something here?)


==== Lower priority issues ====
 * Make generic dense polynomial class in pyrex using C arrays to store coefficients?


== Making SAGE Releases (Packaging and Integration) ==
 William Stein
 
 * Getting sage-1.4.1 ready:
    * New maxima, pari, clisp.
    * Editing and including axiom interface.
 

== Interfaces ==
 William Stein, Bill Page
   
   * Axiom -- Bill Page (a 0.2 version is done; Stein is integrating it)
   * MATLAB -- William Stein -- work in progress

== Notebook/web team ==
  Tom Boothby, Alex Clemesha, Dorian Raymer, William Stein

 * Change the Notebook over to use Twisted
 * Add SSL support for the Notebook (with Twisted/pyOpenSSL)
 * Make public Notebook more secure
   * no cross-side scripting by passing cell output thru MoinMoin
   * send passwords (at minimum) over SSL
   * Sage spawns sage0 in a changeroot jail which is firewalled to only listen on the port assigned to it. This sage0 serves the notebook, which spawns an additional sage0 for each worksheet -- these, in turn, are in smaller changeroot jails which have no internet access, and can only read/write from within their worksheet directory.
 * Add notebook help browser
 * Wikify some parts of the Notebook
 * Add ability to edit plain text Notebook cells and then re-upload

== 3D Graphics ==

Alex Clemesha, Robert Miller, Tom Boothby ...

 * Add 3D Graphics built on top of matplotlib
 * Fix & re-optimize tachyon plotting
 * Generalize interface with plot3d(f, ..., style='tachyon') to place camera & light sources apppropriately, etc.

== Graph Theory Implementation ==

Emily Kirkman, Robert Miller, Bobby Moretti, Tom Boothby (eventually)

 * [http://sage.math.washington.edu:9001/graph Main Project Wiki]
 * [http://sage.math.washington.edu:9001/graph_survey Existing Software] list; includes links to several algorithm pages also; list is now complete
 * [http://sage.math.washington.edu:9001/graph_benchmark Initial Benchmarking] now beginning; purpose is to test construction, storage, retrieval and ''very'' basic functions
 * currently interfacing NetworkX with SAGE
 * experts will be contacted regarding a) the completeness of the list, b) the best benchmark tests
 * ''thorough'' benchmarking to begin soon: we will set up another wiki for results
 * after benchmarking, the real fun begins...

== GSL ==

Josh Kantor, William Stein, Tom Boothby

 * RDF, CDF are done. Are matrices / vectors?
 * Wrap more special functions, add to sage.misc.functions...

== Other groups add yourselves here ==
