Actually, I had never tried 'Share' before but needed to do so today for something else, and lo and behold I found the feature of a complete list VERY useful, e.g. to share something with precisely the students enrolled in class X and not have to look at a list of all their names and type in guesses at their usernames... So I would add that at least for a smaller server, it would be useful to have the option to show all of them, perhaps with a warning that the list will be very long (Blackboard does something like this, though as typical not in a user-friendly way, only 30 at a time). One might also want to consider that some users of a Sage server might NOT want to be listed under 'Share', so perhaps that could be configurable. And the admin should be able to configure who is allowed to choose that privacy option (i.e. not students in class Y). Basically I'll just request that Sage becomes a fully-featured social networking software with a built-in math engine and be done with it :) But I am serious about the "list all" feature being quite useful in certain circumstances. - kcrisman --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
