Sage development nowadays does not seem to be anymore about math research and efficient computations but mostly about "dependencies", "infrastructure" and "maintenance". I am always depressed by reading the change logs. It might have been a reasonable thing if sage was a "stable core Computer Algebra System" on which further specialized math research libraries would depend on. Isn't your https://github.com/flatsurf/sage-flatsurf project doing exactly that? But the latter is not the official nor advised way of doing things. What are you talking about? It's the intentional result of over a decade of the project's policy of sending potential contributors away to go do their contributions in separately maintained projects. We have a working mechanism to advertise such projects in our manual. - We have an index of packages: https://deploy-livedoc--sagemath.netlify.app/html/en/reference/spkg/#optional-packages - We have a page for each package: https://deploy-livedoc--sagemath.netlify.app/html/en/reference/spkg/sage_flatsurf#spkg-sage-flatsurf - We have a process for adding package: https://github.com/sagemath/sage/issues/31164 What we don't have is a clear process to include news about the projects in our release notes. https://github.com/sagemath/sage/wiki/Sage-10.3-Release-Tour Such contributions to the release notes would be very welcome! That's by the way a downside of including the project in Sage only as a "pip" package without pinning the version: There's never a PR that bumps the version, hence it does not appear in the Github-generated changelog, and hence there is nothing that prompts anyone to add a narrative to our release notes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
