Hi Samyak, there are a number of other threads on that Rotation Formalism
project on the mailing list in the last week, and the project idea itself
has a lot of details and links. So asking a one line question "can I get
some help" doesn't show that you've tried to understand the information
already given. Please look into what is already there; if something is not
clear or you have questions/ideas, then ask concrete questions. You will
need to do a bit of homework here first.

Cheers,
Ralf
