On a seemingly unrelated note which is actually quite related, I don’t think it would be possible to find this out, but it would be interesting to know at what rate there has been user -> developer conversion over the years.
Depends on the definition of conversion. In olden times, you might have estimated it by studying the dates of the requests for sage-trac account requests. Now that github accounts allow to file a ticket, you might study the dates at which a (new) user files its first (non-invalid) ticket (yes, posting a ticket is a start on the road to developping…) or its first branch (successful or not). Now, if you insist on a “Damascus road” definition of conversion, this might be a little harder… Le lundi 25 avril 2022 à 15:47:57 UTC+2, kcrisman a écrit : > Everyone agrees on that part, but how to go about it is a religious >> matter. > > > Truth. > > >> I've been using sage, teaching with sage, writing papers that >> cite sage, and giving presentations about my research that use sage for >> about fifteen years.
