Hi Robert and Dev1 list,

I noticed your interest insparse linear algebra over GF(2) on the dev1 Wiki
page. Great! May I ask what you want to look into exactly, since I am eagerly
awaiting somebody to step up to do this :-) My personal wish list would be:

* a fast solver (mainly: 0 = Ax, x!=0)
* reduced row echelon form.

What is your's? Do you consider looking into Bill's and/or Jason's code?

Cheers,
Martin

The first thing I'd like to implement is matrix-vector multiplication
(M,x) |--> Mx, using sparse graphs. I'm also interested in questions
of compact storage of sparse/other matrices over GF(2).
