Sage Days 46: Hawaii -- computational number theory, etc. -- PROJECTS
Single Cell Server
People: Jason Grout, William Stein
- Make the single cell server use stunnel for ssl support. Benefits: this makes websockets more reliable, and of course makes the server more secure.
- Make the single cell server highly available, i.e., deployed on multiple machines in multiple locations, with no single point of failure. Currently, this is VERY hard because of the use of SQLite.
Salvus: Worksheet Views
People: William Stein, Jason Grout
Worksheets in Salvus have numerous "views" -- JSON, LaTeX, PDF, print, XML, etc. -- do a polished implementation of all of these. This is a 100% frontend CoffeeScript development project. The basic skeleton is completely in place.
Sage.math cluster
People: William Stein, Keith Clawsen, Volker Braun, Jason Grout
- KVM -- Address some specific needs of the combinat group on combinat.math.washington.edu. (See William for details.)
- KVM -- Move the single cell server into a virtual machine.
- KVM -- Figure out how to do live snap-shotting of virtual machine's RAM for infinite computations.
- Hardware -- make a plan for disk, power supply (and other?) upgrades.
The Patch Referee Award
People: William Stein, Keith Clawson
- Design and implement a weekly award to the person who referees the most trac stuff, for some arbitrary definition. Keith and William have done some work on this. Things to decide:
- definition of "most" -- this is social -- what do you think.
- the prize itself: money (e.g., amazon.com gift certificate) or something else?
- How to implement: use trac postgresql, etc.
Salvus UI Testing and Design
