I respectfully submit that this part of the discussion should move to sage-flame.
Incidentally, the title of the thread is very relevant to the Cygwin port. I would say that there are *lots* of people who would like it, but the intersection of that set and those with the relevant (extremely non-mathematical) background to do so consists mainly of people who have higher priorities - and not without reason. Unfortunately, no one is paid to work on Sage specifically, though some people are paid (or will be paid) to work on very specific subsets of Sage. Cygwin/Windows is not currently one of those subsets. Maybe a few of us should get together and offer a bounty... - kcrisman On Feb 1, 5:33 pm, rjf <fate...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Feb 1, 8:22 am, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >.. > > > Some history.. > > > >http://www.wikilivres.info/wiki/Twenty_Years_of_Berkeley_Unix:_From_A... > > > According to that page you were one of 14 people who co-authored a > > grant.. > > I was the principal investigator for the grant, and wrote the > proposal, > incorporating paragraphs from the other faculty. > > > to buy a computer, your group installed UNIX on it, and you > > asked somebody else at Berkeley to ask their student to write some > > code.
