I am planning on making major edits to this page, during the month of May in 2016. The general idea will be to organize the existing content a bit better, and then expand the article substantially. I would welcome any suggestions for new sections, or any questions that people would like to be answered. Here is a (very) rough outline of the proposed changes:
Small changes to the history section
Section on how trajectory optimization relates to parameter optimization
Add a better overview of numerical methods used for trajectory optimization
Add description of each type of method, as well as pointers to papers on the topic.
List of trajectory optimization terminology, links to other articles where appropriate.
Create a section on common numerical problems, giving common problems that people run into, and several solutions to these problems.
