OK, here's on thought then. Suggest your idea to Sage. After all, Sage
depends on Maxima.
You are going to make Maxima better. They should be happy.
If Sage gets to be a mentoring org, they can choose you and some mentor
who knows
about matlisp, maxima, SBCL, whatever.
Or they can take the money and spend it on some high school student
writing the
15th version of an interactive math front-end in python. That would be sad.
