[sage-support] Re: Notebook sign-up email
Hi Greg, I'm sorry to hear that this is causing you trouble with your system admin. I will take care of this issue first thing on August 1st. Currently the only purpose of email addresses being required in registration is to prevent people from being spammed who never signed up in the first place when someone tries to recover her password. But this system is clearly flawed. On August 1st I'll submit a patch that implements a notebook configuration keyword with the default value of False and tie the registration and password recovery system to it. Timothy PS: I can't do the simple commenting out until sometime tomorrow because I stupidly didn't bring my laptop with me on my trip.

I was thinking from the perspective of bundling Sage with the application as well as communication with the Sage components. I believe that ObjC is the right choice for the application, but PyObjC may make sense for communication between the app and the Sage components, but I haven't had a chance to test this. > > >> If you use TextMate for your coding, there is a Mercurial bundle (and >> a XCode bundle).

I investigated PyObjC when I started this project, and I learned that the support for PyObjC in Mac OS X is not as strong as one might think. If this is going to become a serious Mac application, rather than just a simple wrapper, then it probably makes the most sense to use Objective-C. > If you use TextMate for your coding, there is a Mercurial bundle (and > a XCode bundle).

It's easiest to use XCode's editor, and I think subversion is the way to go. I cannot set up a subversion server at my college, but I can try to do it on my cohomology.com server. -- Greg -- Gregory D.

I'm also interested in seamless exporting of worksheets to LaTeX since it is required for pretty much all journals and conferences I submit to. That shouldn't be too difficult with the LaTeX support in Sage. > (1) Is there anyone else in the Sage community interested in working > on this Mac OS X app?
