Register for the www.scipy.org wiki and make a page describing your code. Add it to the page as an attachment. When we've seen the code and hashed out the design a little bit, then we'll talk about putting it in the Subversion repository.
Alright... the page is up on the wiki.

Thanks for putting that up Adam. It all looks pretty good so far, but the following caught my eye:
* All temperatures should be in Celsius. Conversions will be performed by methods (or a package in scipy, if scipy has a unit conversion system)
Would it not be better to work in units of Kelvin? In my experience Kelvin is used more often than Celcius in scientific work. What do others think?
I agree, Kelvin would be the most natural choice. Plenty of thermodynamics calculations demand temperature be in units of Kelvin. Darren
