Feb 24, 2015 at 22:30 comment added Olexandr Konovalov @kcrisman: nice, thanks!
Feb 24, 2015 at 21:19 comment added kcrisman I've answered more detailed below. And other contributors should definitely start adding other systems they would like to mention.

Feb 24, 2015 at 21:06 comment added Olexandr Konovalov @kcrisman: would you like to post a CW-answer adding a link to some URL with initial instructions for prospective contributors to Sage? Then eventually this may grow to a collection of links for other systems...
May 11, 2014 at 12:13 comment added TooTone @kcrisman thanks for that. I'm still interested but life has gotten in the way (new job plus upcoming exam). I should have time later in the year.
Apr 3, 2014 at 18:18 comment added kcrisman I didn't see this question earlier, but Sage certainly welcomes contributors - you can see current enhancement and bug requests at trac.sagemath.org and there is lots to do all the way from assembler in some of the subcomponents like Flint to Python to C++ in Pynac to web programming with the sagenb and cloud...

Aug 15, 2013 at 13:57 comment added TooTone @lhf Point taken. I wanted to get the advice of maths experts especially w.r.t. points 1 and 2. (Note also there's a previous, similar question that was positively received, which is probably worth linking to from here, Looking for Open Source Math Software with Poor Documentation.)
Aug 15, 2013 at 13:01 comment added TooTone @quid There are some very good comments here but yours particularly struck home and indicates that Sage would be a very good starting point, if nothing else.
Aug 15, 2013 at 11:59 comment added Jesko Hüttenhain I just realized, also @lhf, Maybe this should be community wiki?
Aug 15, 2013 at 11:31 comment added quid One thing to know about Sage is that it uses many preexisting earlier components (other open-source math projects) and has interfaces to various other software. Thus if you start to familiarize yourself with Sage in detail you will get to know other projects automatically. My impression from observation not involvement some time ago was that Sage is very welcoming to new contributors. Sage is mature enough to be used both for research and for teaching on a regular basis in various math-subjects.
Aug 15, 2013 at 11:31 comment added bubba There's an effort to re-implement chebfun in Python (rather than Matlab). That seems eminently worthwhile, to me: github.com/alexalemi/pychebfun
Aug 15, 2013 at 11:29 comment added lhf Laudable, but not really on-topic here.
Aug 15, 2013 at 11:26 comment added Prahlad Vaidyanathan There is SciPy or NumPy if you want to work "behind the scenes" with Python
