Recently I read a nice article on OpenWetWare: http://openwetware.org/wiki/Julius_B._Lucks/Projects/Python_All_A_Scientist_Needs and after writing to the author about Sage he encouraged me to write something on O.W.W. about Sage. I mentioned this in the sage-devel IRC room a couple of weeks ago and asked if anyone would like to help. This is a more formal advertisement for involvement.
If you are in William Stein's 480 class, contributing to this may satisfy some sort of requirement for that, but you should clarify that with him directly. OpenWetWare's audience is mainly scientists in biology and bioinformatics. The article linked to above already does a good job of explaining the biopython; I will write something about the added value of using biopython in Sage, with some of our other visualization tools like JMol. There are two main areas where I could use a little help: 1) Cython and 2) R/scipy.stats. If I have to, I can come up with some examples myself. If anyone out there has a biological background and can think of a short example with Cython or statistics in sage, that would be great. Even better would be an interact example; I might use my coalescent example at http://wiki.sagemath.org/interact#head-62b94dd3fb456a549958ee2978cd3bacabd9b015 but it would be nice to have something simpler. I am also open to other ideas for highlighting advantages of Sage, particularly if they are relevant to this audience. I would like to get this done pretty quickly, ideally within a week.
