One of the things I've always wanted in my CAS apps is both a text editor portion along side the worksheet since I'm often coding long functions. I'm also interested in seamless exporting of worksheets to LaTeX since it is required for pretty much all journals and conferences I submit to. That shouldn't be too difficult with the LaTeX support in Sage. > (1) Is there anyone else in the Sage community interested in working > on this Mac OS X app?

I'm certainly willing to help. I don't know if you've done this, but building Sage as a Framework and using PyObjC might make things easier after the initial pain of setting everything up. > (2) What is the best way to make the code available, with the intent > of merging it into the Sage distribution?

Alternatively, we probably could set up a Subversion repository somewhere. I know that git has a git-svn gateway, I'm not sure if Mercurial has the same.
