Hi,
I'm sorry to have not yet published anything since your last request but I had an examination this morning and I forgot to warn you, sorry.

I'm working on these task as you suggested but I've not yet published the code side by side because I
still have some doubt about naming convention.
In particular, at the moment, I create the function for the FunctionalspaceSpace and the Form using

    fem_create_fs ('problem')

and it generate the function

    V = problem_FunctionalSpace(mesh)

which would like to mimic the c++ command problem::FunctionalSpace.
I was wondering if it is maybe better to create a standard function FunctionalSpace which receive as input also the name of the problem:

     fem_create_fs ('problem')
     V = FunctionSpace (mesh, 'problem')

Which one do you think it is better?

Also, I still don't have figure out how the function which register all the types should work, and so I
think that I will remove it from the first release of the pkg. (fem_init_env ())

No update on the MTW (and I don't think that anyone will ever do it) and also no update on the nnz
https://bitbucket.org/fenics-project/dolfin/issue/110/number-of-non-zero-entries-of-a-matrix

but I will give a better look to this problem later because at the moment, as you suggested, the priority is to put out the fem-fenics pkg to start getting feedback. I think that by the end of the week I should be able to publish all the examples side by side and a first version of the pkg.

Thanks a lot

Marco
