First off, if I've posted this in the wrong section please feel free to move it to wherever you feel is most appropriate.
Now, on to the substance of my post. I think rather than having a bunch of people develop fractured simulation scripts it might be useful to start development of a core simulation library, with an API and a focus on language-agnostic interoperability. Approaching the development from this angle, I believe, will help to maximize code re-use, and will also make the code easier to implement in various CSTART projects.
I'm a C/Perl programmer and I'd love to get started on this, but I'm not particularly well versed on the pertinent atmospheric science, formulas, etc. Would anyone be willing to liaise with me on the science aspects to the ends outlined above?

I have had thoughts along these lines too, mostly about a common astrodynamics library, but some basic Newtonian physics wouldn't hurt either. I think it would be good for something like this to happen and I would be happy to contribute to it too (I can do C, Python, Java).
I can probably help out advising on the science as well. I have a decent background in classical mechanics, a very thorough background in applied mathematics (Bachelor's degree) and have been learning lots about astrodynamics since CSTART began (I've bought a textbook, so I'm not just talking about Wikipedia).
Brmj would probably want to be in on this too. We probably have enough people that we can start making serious progress on this, or at least the planning, if there is broad support for it.

I would definitely want to work on this. I can do C, C++, java and a bit of Haskell. I have a bit of a background in newtonian physics and special relativity, and I can certainly learn.

I'd also like to work on this. I can write C, C++, some Python. I've studied physics and maths to college (British college) level but I'm somewhat rusty on that.

Thanks! Look forward to working with all of you too. Something like this should attract some interesting people.
