Particularly, I want to build a sparse matrix library tuned towards graph operations.  I think that people often underestimate how many complex graph operations are possible with sparse matrices.  In many cases, doing something like a breadth-first search can be equivalent to an operation which is almost just a matrix multiply.<br />

On the mailing list, I gave an example of a program that takes an undirected graph and finds the set of all maximal cliques.  As I've mentioned, I've done a lot with this sort of thing, but constantly find myself working around gaps or bugs.  I want to try to fill those gaps and build this graph library on top of it.

UPDATE: After some discussion on the mailing list, one project someone suggested was just to get Octave Sparse-Matrix indexing working properly.  This seems feasible since sparse column arrays are already stored in compressed format (and indexing generally requires converting back and forth between matrix and column format, but there shouldn't be any need to use row vectors)

I hope it's okay if I delay answering this for a bit.  There are some things I'm still not sure aboutPlease let me know if you need an answer to this question right away.
I don't know how to estimate this.  Sorry.
