Move to Julia Algebra Organization?

[saschatimme]

Hey there 👋 ,

I am part of the JuliaAlgebra Organization and I think your project would fit perfectly to the other projects. If you are interested to move the repo under the JuliaAlgebra umbrella at some point just let me know :) Also it might be interesting for you to integrate with MultivariatePolynomials.

@saschatimme ! Hello and welcome! Thank you for reaching out! How did you hear about this project?

I am definitely interested in upstreaming the code in this library eventually into a comfier home - it definitely looks like JuliaAlgebra could be such a place.

However, that is something that I will consider until I have this package up to milestone 1.0 standards. (If you look at the issues, I have the issues tagged with semantic versioning so as to timeline the features.)

A definite date is by JuliaCon2018 - August 7, 2018.

Also take note: I am trying to document the entirety of the package development process. Would you care to explain a few reasons why you find it worthwhile to join an organization? I can at least think of: more interested developers, longer term goals feeding development, and integration into the ecosystem provides more use cases for more people. Do comment!

On a different node, I did look at the code in MultivariatePolynomials - there is a rich field of problems to attack here. From some simple benchmarking I saw that there is at least an order of magnitude to be improved when it comes to FixedPolynomials.jl evaluations.

Also, I tried reaching you directly on Slack for another matter. Let me know if your email is more appropriate.

Sure take your time :)

Would you care to explain a few reasons why you find it worthwhile to join an organization? I think there are 2 major benefits for being in an organization. 1) Discoverability + Credibility - If you look at one package of an organization it is likely that you also look what other packages are there. Maybe there is something useful which you weren't aware of. Also if a package is part of an organization, then this organization could put some credibility on the package. 2) Maintenance - Life happens and there can be a time where you just don't have time to take care of the project. In an organization there is at least some structure which could step in to at least keep everything running smoothly.

From some simple benchmarking I saw that there is at least an order of magnitude to be improved when it comes to FixedPolynomials.jl evaluations. I would love to hear your thoughts on how to improve the performance (for multivariate polynomials).

Another option is JuliaApproximation.
