BTW, asking for contributors is the surest way to get zero contributors. You should invite people to try Sage (online) and to download it so it runs faster.
Also, I thought of another great reason why they would like Sage. Many of these people write their own libraries. Then you have to write input and output routines to get data in and out of your program. No sane person enjoys this. It's a horrible distraction and a waste of time. But if they use Sage they can easily hook in their libraries using (easy to learn) Python code. If possible, show a very simple example. Something like: you type in a univariate polynomial into Sage and then you call a C library, and use Python code to construct a dense array for C. If the interface code fits on one slide then you are sold. Just remove all the error checking and make it as small as possible. If possible, return a nice result to Sage. For example: use the C code to compute the derivative. It just shows how easy it can be to interface a program with Sage. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
