Well, the Sage developer's guide is excellent (and so is the reference
manual), the problem is more my own lack of mathematical rigor (I'm a
mathematical physicist) and lack of experience with Sage.  For now, I
am letting DifferentialForms derive from sage.rings.ring.Algebra and
I'm following the design of the quaternionic algebras, since they are
the closest to what I need in Sage.

Is there any way that I can express the fact that the algebra of
differential forms is in the category GradedAlgebras?

Thanks a lot for the encouragement.  As soon as I have something
finished, I will put it up for review.  Meanwhile, I will also collect
the resources that people have posted in this thread, on a Wiki page
or so.

Sincerely,
Joris
