Two people who have never done (the very long hard extensive work) of even a single Sage release agree. It's good to constantly remind yourself of how different things can look "in the trenches" when suggesting that other people change their workflows. I just want to remind people that Jereon has *successfully* put together far more Sage releases than everybody else combined in the last 2 years. It's like he is landing beautiful McTwists [1], and you guys are suggesting loudly and at great length that he needs to grab his skateboard differently, despite you never having done a McTwist. I'm not making a statement for or against anything proposed so far. I've done more Sage releases than Jereon over more time, but he does them better than I ever did, and they are much harder to do today than they were a few years ago. -- William [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXAwjsTbtMA > > ---- > Join us in #sagemath on irc.freenode.net ! > > -- > To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to > sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel > URL: http://www.sagemath.org -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
