A page to summarise and coordinate SAGE development activity.


== Core arithmetic team ==
[:DavidHarvey:David Harvey], ["Martin Albrecht"], Joel Mohler, Robert Bradshaw, [:WilliamStein:William Stein]

 * Develop new {{{__mul__}}} semantics for rings/algebras using something like {{{ToyQuarternionAlgebraElement}}} as a test case.
 * Write up more entries in WritingFastPyrexCode. (''everyone'')
 * Write a benchmarking module or improve on the existing one.
 * Optimise pyrex in coercion module.
 * Make Algebra {{{_base_ring}}} into a cdef attribute. This will make it possible to give a fast pathway for scalar multiplications.
  * Rewrite polynomials over Z and Z/nZ using direct NTL calls. (''David'')
 * build [:MallocReplacements:omalloc] as a shared library (or link it statically to memory.so the Pyrex wrapper) and make sure as much stuff as possible uses it (SAGE_malloc macros, GMP, etc.)
 * Wrap NTL finite extension fields (order $\geq 2^{16}$) and polynomials over finite fields.
==== Lower priority issues ====
 * Make generic dense polynomial class in pyrex using C arrays to store coefficients?


== Notebook/web team ==
 . Tom Boothby, Alex Clemesha, [:dmr: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
 * Live bootable notebook (Alfredo Portes)
== 3D Graphics ==
Robert Bradshaw, 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)

 * [:graph: Main Project Wiki]
 * [:graph_survey: Existing Software] list; also includes links to several algorithm pages; list is now (/will never be) complete.
 * [:graph_benchmark: Benchmarking] Magma, of course, in the lead.
 * Robert Miller has interfaced NetworkX's XGraph and XDiGraph, and has implemented 2d plotting.
 * [:graph_generators: Graph Generators]: Emily Kirkman is currently creating a class of constructors for common and named graphs.
 * [:graph_db_survey: Survey of Existing Graph Database Software] Plans are in the works to build (or wrap) a large database of graphs. Here is the current list of what I've found. Feedback is especially appreciated here.
 * [:graph_database: Graph Database]: Jason Grout's SQL lite graph database of graphs on up to 9 vertices is on its way!
== GSL ==
Josh Kantor, William Stein, Tom Boothby

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

== Teaching ==
David Joyner, Bobby Moretti
 * Wrapping Maxima functions and creating Python classes to support Calculus and ODEs.
 * Creating functions to teach Fourier series and discrete Fourier transforms on various groups.
 * See [:BasicCalculus:Basic calculus architecture] for SAGE.
== Coding theory ==
David Joyner
 * Wrapping GAP and GUAVA code to support work in error-correcting codes.

== Group theory ==
David Joyner
 * Wrapping GAP code and creating Python classes to support work in finite group theory and representation theory.

== Documentation ==
William Stein, David Joyner, [:IftikharBurhanuddin: Iftikhar Burhanuddin]

== Other groups add yourselves here ==
