 **New implementation** New implementation are welcome!
 **Improving comments** and **adding tests** to existing algorithms are much appreciated.
+**Issues** Please avoid opening issues asking to be "assigned” to a particular algorithm.  This merely creates unnecessary noise for maintainers.  Instead, please submit your implementation in a pull request and it will be evaluated by project maintainers.
