good idea, there could also be a separate trac milestone for all the
tickets.

I think, one major point is integration. It should be made sure, that
all common textbook integrals work and there are test suits for them.
Maybe, there is enough momentum behind sympy (or something else?) to
create new implementations of algorithms. The other major point is
solving equations - to solve systems and present complicated solutions
as a set of cases and not the maxima questions. Definitely interesting
to see how far this could work out... Probably, the first important
step is a quick exchange of data between sage (pynac) and sympy.
I don't think a fixed timetable would work out, this transition should
happen step by step (hence the separate milstone) as the
functionalities are replaced and probably the best idea is to just
follow the general direction to make lisp/maxima optional. [<- at
least, this last part is something concrete we should agree on or
not :) ]
