Hi Alfredo and Lucio, Thanks to both of you for your very informative replies and all your great work on LiveCD's. I can imagine places with minimal hardware and minimal (or no) network access where these CD's (or USB drive installations) could be an invaluable help in the study of mathematics

[sage-devel] Encoding in the notebook, and I18N

Thank you all for your feedback. I agree that maintaining anoher version of Sage is probably spreading current resources too thin. I was asking to see if this was indeed the case. On the other hand, an engineering and physics oriented Sage could help boost Sage and bring in more resources from
