One of the "innovative" Sage days listed for funding is a "Bug Smash" day. So one of the four days of funding is for debugging work.
Am I misreading the proposal? Is a "Bug Smash" day "innovative"? If nothing else, you might retitle the day to something else. Believe me, I understand the critical importance of bug smashing to the progress and success of the project. I'm just not sure that the committee might not consider it worth funding. I see a lot of words, like the S-Dyer proposal but I couldn't get funding at CCNY to work on the Andrews-Curtis conjecture from Infinite Group Theory (see http://daly.axiom-developer.org in the bottom right corner) Magnus is the largest Infinite Group Theory project and was originally created through NSF funding. At one point, the funding dried up, about the time I became lead developer, although I'm not sure that correlation implies causation in this case.
