Hello David,
a couple remarks:
Page 25: you refer to pyrex instead of Cython
Page 31: you refer to pyrex instead of Cython
Page 34: the "too many bugs" line is a little strong (even though
William used it verbatim): I would modify that somehow: There are too
many bugs, but they are fixed rapidly. Give example about #587 from
today. I can provide you with the IRC logs if you want. We are also
systematically adding doc tests and hunting memory leaks, usually with
the result that the code quality increases. Due to the frequency of
the releases one never has to wait long for a new build and if so
desired people can apply individual patches (if the technical
expertise exists). Contrast that to commercial CAS. We have also
started getting together for Bug Days to fix outstanding issues and
are working through the backlog of issues. Sage has also better
integration with debugging tools like gdb or valgrind compared to
anything out there. This is obviously a little long to insert all on
that page.
Page 36: sage-devel now has 186 members, volume on sage-devel exceeded
750 messages last month. There is also a very active IRC channel #sage-
devel on freenode
Cheers,
Michael
