Ok, that is two people that have taken my 'numerical recipes' statement very literally. I was just trying to say, "if you have a few hours free, you CAN contribute. Just pick something that's missing and write it." I looked to my left, saw the "Numerical Recipes in C" book on my bookshelf, and used it as an example of something you can do in a couple hours. I obviously do not want to blindly duplicate the work of others. > What is still lacking, though, is a uniform interface for hiding the > low-level GSL interactions and presenting the user/programmer with a > consistent scheme interface. Help with this is always welcome. I also didn't see any documentation for the interfaces being exported in the browseable CVS tree off the savannah site, though I may have missed it.
