I think this would be good for Sage. I think there are several decisions to be made: * What are our most pressing documentation needs? Personally, I think we have a gap between the reference manual (which is extensive but has no flow) and the thematic tutorials (which are written to tell a story but are just introductions). I also poked around online for criticisms of Sage's documentation and found complaints about not having separate pages for each function <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23513654> (compared to Mathematica's), some suggestions here <https://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/45q7j1/sagemath_open_source_is_now_ready_to_compete_with/> about focusing on aspects of Sage commonly used by beginners (like plotting). * Who will be involved in applying and supervising the project? This could be a group or a single person. I can help a bit, but I can't take the lead. David
