Unfortunately, the link I provided to a newsgroup entry about Wolfram's commitment to Mathematica is not a Wolfram page at all. > Well, "A free distribution of the world's most widely used open source > mathematical software that builds easily from source" > If this states "most widely used opensource which builds easily from > source" then you are right. > But, if this states "most widely used opensource" and at the same time > "builds easily from source" then for other software, some info for > showing it is difficult to maintain for some platforms can have a > standpoint.

The Wikipedia page stated exactly what I wrote before - I used copy-and-paste. "A free distribution of the world's most widely used open source mathematical software that builds easily from source." I'm a bit confused what you mean in your email, but I think it would be better to show Sage builds easily from source, than to pick fault with other mathematical software which does not. The term "mathematical software" ambiguous. The unix tool 'bc' is quite possibly more widely used than sage. It will be distributed with every version of Unix/Linux. How much it is used I don't know - I tend to use it myself in shell scripts. Perl is certainly more widely used than Sage and is capable of quite sophisticated maths. Perhaps the word "specialized" needs to go in the Wikipedia entry. But that might imply something that has limited use. I can understand why someone added that tag about the Introduction being unsourced. Finding some better wording, and references to back that up would be useful. Any suggestions anyone ?
