Please accept my apology, I totally missed this email. If you don't
get reply to your email
in a few days, please feel free to ping us on gitter:

https://gitter.im/sympy/sympy

or email me directly. Anyway, yes, I am interested in your ideas.
There is a lot
that can be implemented and done with CSymPy. Please keep in touch and ask
questions if you have any.
