Very often in our Sage(-Combinat) days we get a bunch of participants to create an account on trac, in order to start working at once on how to report a bug. Not having to wait for the account creation is handy. But we can't ask Minh to be instantly responsive 24 hours a day :-). By the way maybe we should just make sure to have someone with administrative rights for creating accounts among the organizers of the workshop. Cheers, Nicolas -- Nicolas M.

Hi William, On Sat, Apr 2, 2011 at 3:07 AM, William Stein wst...@gmail.com wrote: It sounds like it might be less work for you if we switch to email Minh for an account? I can't say it would be less work for me. I check trac very often for over two years now. Creating trac accounts even on a daily basis would be normal routine for me. If you want, I would assume that role and manage the creation of new trac accounts. That is, anyone wishing to create/modify/delete or otherwise manage their trac account should contact me or someone with relevant privileges on trac. -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen -- 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
