In my opinion, something like what you're doing is actual contribution to the development of Sage. Developing a piece of software isn't always about writing software specification and actual (coding) implementation. It's also about maintaining and writing documentation catering towards various types of users, and also be open to information on issues related to CAS. What I'm trying to say is that, thank you very much for your contribution, especially in the way of gathering links and pointers as you've done. > Since I am alot more familiar with physics/engineering/numerical > applications, I wonder if you think it would be a good idea to > maintain a version of Sage geared towards these types of applications, > especially now that Scilab and Reduce have been released as GPL- > compatible. I don't think that maintaining another version of Sage is the way to go at the moment, since many developers have enough on their hands and little time to implement them. What I think is appropriate is to write a Sage interface to your favourite physics/engineering/numerical system, package your interface as an spkg, and announce your spkg on the sage-devel mailing list. A list of current spkg can be found at http://www.sagemath.org/download-packages.html The Sage Developer's Guide has some info on producing new spkg, please see especially the following section http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/producing_spkgs.html -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
