Documentation
[:days4/projects/: Other SAGE Days 4 Project]
- M Albrecht: Go through the wiki and clean it up, write more documentation, and check what content should be added to the documentation
Revise the guided tour part of the SAGE tutorial to much better reflect the symbolic calculus functionality, its pros, cons, etc.
W Stein: Documentation. Have teams describe how to do the following in tutorial fashion, with all examples automatically doctested:
- Use SageX to create an interface to a C library (case study -- GMP-ECM).
- Convert a program from .sage files to .py library code.
- Convert a .py Python program to SageX for speed.
- Create publication-quality graphics for inclusion in latex documents.
- Port code from Magma to SAGE.
- Make an existing PARI-GP / GAP / Singular / Lisp / Maxima program easily usable from SAGE.
- (Bobby Moretti): How to create a ring or other structure object in SAGE, what class to inherit from, how to set the parent object, what methods to override in both python and SageX, etc.
W Stein: Continue to flesh out ideas for JSAGE -- the open source math software journal. I announced JSAGE at SD3, and it's been very interesting to see it start to take off. It's critical that we actually *write* some code to manage JSAGE, and figure out how to really do it right -- much more work is needed. In particular, a good way of dealing with code submissions from people that don't know much about SAGE development, but have awesome code and ideas to contribute.
