Hello Erocal,
I would like to mention that I am working on the backend of the
project and Jason is working on the front end editor for the same topic, I
was requesting him to present his views on what he would expect from the
back end so as to make the working of the editor more complete in its
functionality. I would also like to mention that we are working on
completely independent ideas and have a pretty thin intersection.
@Jason are you on the gsoc channel or sagemath channel and how do I
identify you ?? Thanks
