Hello Vincent,
Thanks for the reply. I wanted to work on the implementation as
it was mentioned in the ideas page(
https://docs.google.com/document/d/15v7lXZR1U4H2pT21d2fyPduYGb74JAFjkXJ6CWYmYfw/pub).
I have introduced myself and posted about the same on the sage-gsoc google
group. I wanted to know whether I need to forward the discussion to the
possible mentors mentioned on the ideas page or whether it was sufficient
just to post on that group. Coming back to the implementation I will look
through SnapPy and its integration with Sage and get back in touch with you
as soon as possible. Thanks for all the help and guidance.
Amit.
