Thanks. What's your last name? I want to add it to the windows.sagemath.org page. Also, please subscribe to the sage-windows mailing list. > Is it feasible to have the source code in SVN?

I'm also willing to create a central SVN server on my hardware if that would prove helpful for you. > > On Feb 23, 5:00 am, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Hi Sage Devels, etc. >> >> I am getting very impatient about how slowly work on the Microsoft >> Windows Sage Project has been moving.
