>From skimming this, it looks pretty good, although I worry that some of the time estimates may be overly optimistic. I'd strongly consider figuring out which of these you consider most important and concentrating on doing one or two well and then doing the rest if time allows. I also strongly encourage you to drop by the Sage IRC channel at #sage on irc.freenode.net if your interested in discussing it in more detail (and I also note that to a very large extent Sage serves as a very strong regression test Cython).
