Bugs

Knot Theory

• KnotTheory` can't cope with Dowker codes for links.
• Credit messages are being truncated.

Compatibility

• Gauss codes don't seem to mutually understood. For example, LinKnot produces the Gauss code ${1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 3, 2, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}$ from the Conway notation "3 6", but KnotTheory chokes (for example when calculating the Jones polynomial) on this.

Things to make available in KnotTheory

• 'drawing' diagrams by mouse
• a Conway notation header; presumably something that looks like ConwayNotation["5,3,"] or ConwayNotation["[532]"] (to agree with Livingston's format)

• are the polynomial functions faster? if so, incorporate!

Issues

Knot Theory

• KnotilusURL[Knot[0,1]] is broken.

K2K

• Radmila would like to adapt the 'type casting' model to K2K.
• directory independence; copy what KnotTheory does.
