Maple is awesome

OK, I now have Maple. And, surprise - it integrates with MATLAB! And
that's a pleasant surprise indeed! I am now equipped person to compute
anything from any program anyone wants; I can compute HE on one end
and tie it in with regular mapping on the other end if I want.

I've seen Maple programs posted here and there before, sometimes on
the Wiki. Is there any gathering of them? It would be rather helpful
for me to have them because

1) It would make it a lot easier for me to LEARN some of this stuff if
I could see straightforward code for it; then I wouldn't have to
constantly go through a sea of mathematical definitions
2) It would make it so I wouldn't have to pester Gene for Lesfips and
such and could do it myself,
3) It would be nice if this sort of thing was open source and in a
repository somewhere,
4) It would help me to translate some of this into the JS regular
temperament library project I've had planned for a while.

Much of it I could probably code myself; I have routines for TE error
and such, but I'm sure there's plenty I don't have, some of it from an
era in tuning theory that we don't talk about much anymore - I keep
rediscovering these conversations between Gene and Paul from like 2002
that have these awesome ideas that I never see talked about and are
not on the wiki (like TM reduction for comma lists).

It's up to anyone who's written code if they want to share it. But I
think a code repository on the Wiki might be useful, at least for the
things that people really do want to share. Any thoughts on this?
