 I changed it to the following: "Sage Days are gatherings of people
 interested in SageMath development. Contributors, enthusiastic users,
 and newcomers often attend. Sage Days are organized by a wide range of
 people around the globe."

This page is actually quite clean and up-to-date, but it was lacking a

I added a short one, which everybody can freely [edit/change totally].

This is not how I do practice Sage days. There are days which gather
developers, but I did quite a few which were just about advertising Sage to
newcomers.

What about

Sage Days are gatherings of people interested in SageMath, from 
newcomers to contributors. Sage Days are organized by a wide range of 
people around the globe.

Are you proposing changing it to the following: "Sage Days are

interested in SageMath. Contributors, enthusiastic users,

[sage-devel] A short description of what "Sage days" are on the wiki page

2015-05-25 Thread Nathann Cohen
Hello everybody,

I just noticed that the wiki page on "Sage Days" [2] can be reached
quite easily from Sage's website [1]. Thus, we can expect many persons
(ignorant of our customs and traditions) to read it.

This page is actually quite clean and up-to-date, but it was lacking a
short paragraph at the top of the page explaining to newcomers what
exactly Sage days are.

I added a short one, which everybody can freely [edit/change totally].
It is my first time editing this page, and I thought it would be a
good idea to write here to tell everybody "how public" that page is.

Cheers,

Nathann
