idea for SymPy Gamma

[Bob Young]

Dear Sir/Madam,

This year I have just heard of GSoC and I am extremely excited to see Sympy in it. I really want to join this project. I just wonder if it is kind of late and there are already enough applicants.

I am an undergraduate majoring in software engineering in China and have knowledge of basic advanced mathematics. When I was a novice at math and later participated in some projects involving math computing, I frequently used Sympy and have accumulated lots of ideas about Sympy.

I have looked through the GSoC idea list page: SymPy Live and SymPy Gamma. Are there any changes to this topic now? Here are some ideas of mine based on the content currently on the page.

1. I really agree to make Sympy Gamma support other kinds of syntax, like LaTex, but I think we do not need natural language queries like Wolfram|Alpha. Since math computing is our main function which is hard to express in natural words. However, image identification of hand-writing formulas may be more helpful.
2. When SymPy Gamma supports other query syntax, we can also add a new block to show corresponding sympathy syntax. So SymPy Gamma can serve as a quick manual for beginners of SymPy, but not just a computing and presentation tool.

I have some experience in web and python development. I would appreciate it if I could work on this topic to implement my idea.
