Regarding this request, William has a question which interactive "visualization" objects would be most useful for people with combinatorial inclination. Certainly graphs, trees, but I guess also 3- or multi-dimensional objects such as plane partitions and polytopes ... Anything else? Best, Anne

Hi Anne, I agree with Dima in that it would be great to have some of the basic ring theory available in improved. There are some basic deficiencies with (Laurent) polynomial rings, especially in more than one variable and it would great if all of the problems with quite basic rings could be iro
