collecting suggestions for a format for "introducing myself"

[Richard Fateman]

Instead of just informing us of your name and a question "how can I help?"

perhaps such messages could include

(a) level of familiarity with python (years of programming, previous projects)

(b) mathematical education level (high school / ... / PhD?)

(c) particular expertise (physics? biology? ...subtopics)

(d) particular algorithmic interests

(e) level of familiarity with symbolic math systems "computer algebra". Perhaps

even course work in (say) algebra, or books read.

(f) other possibly relevant information -- geographical location? native language?

...

  what else would be useful to know??

Good idea. Maybe we should add these instructions to: https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/introduction-to-contributing and whatever page the GSoC students might likely first land on.
