You, fine Sir, are looking at it.

And in that respect, you join us all.
I have posted very many times about the need to attract new users and advertise
wherever we might for people to help further develop this open-source project.

At present, it seems that just myself, and mostly William F Pokorny are
investigating various parts of the source code to better understand, comment,
and hopefully improve upon the extant code base.

I think that working out various functions, diagramming out the geometry,
documenting the math with publicly-accessible references, and clearly commenting
the code would be an excellent project for undergraduate (and graduate) students
in math and computer science, and help provide a solid entry point for further
development efforts.  Though the contributions may seem small, they do indeed
add up over time.

I see that jr has addressed these concerns.
