Hello, I just added to the wiki the two projects suggested above. Could you please have a look to make sure I did not introduce any typo and such? In particular for the second project, as I created some title and I changed "genfun" into "gfun" which seems to be the usual name for the Maple library (I can revert back, if using "genfun" was intentional).
