Hoew, how very kind of you to offer! :-)

I think our previous arrangement during a the Google Summer of
Code 2005 (Kai Kaminski's AxiomUI project) turned out very well
for both Axiom and LispNYC since it demonstrated as least one
way in which Axiom could be extended using standard common lisp
packages methods. Perhaps we can do it again this year.

A few weeks ago Martin Rubey setup a tentative Summer of Code
2007 web page for Axiom at:

http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/SummerOfCode2007

Here is the new list of possible projects so far:

Project 1: create a HyperDoc replacement/enhancement
Project 2: a zero test for algebraic differential equations
Project 3: extending SPAD to understand "extend"
Project 4: create a package management system for Axiom
Project 5: improve the Sage interface to Axiom

I just added the last two items on this list. This list
might grow if other Axiom developers think there is a serious
possibility of having a funded Summer of Code project for
Axiom.

I think the Axiom Developers would be more than happy to
receive project proposals on these and of course any other
proposal based on not-yet-accomplished items in the previous
Summer of Code page and the general Axiom WishList.

If you think it appropriate, please feel free to provide a
link from your web site to our SummerOfCode2007 list.

Many thanks again for continuing to think of us.

Regards,
Bill Page.
