Waldek, As I'm sure you've come to appreciate it takes a lot of time to understand, make, test, and publish solutions to what may seem to others as "simple problems".
There was a huge discussion about a release schedule for Axiom. Some wanted a weekly release. We eventually agreed on a release every 2 months. Fricas seems to have much longer intervals with no defined schedule. People seem to forget that you have, like I had, "a real job" that likely does not involve Fricas or their particular problem. Axiom work was always a "nights and weekend" effort. It is easy to find a problem. It is much harder to find a solution. Ask people to propose a patch rather than inventing it yourself. Otherwise the process doesn't scale.
