This was my understanding, too.
Say "Please contribute to Sage" - and the people in the audience might
think "Why should i spend my time to make a project work that i even
don't know".
Say "I invite you to use Sage for your work, as in the following
examples" - and the people might think "Ah, it works and could be a
useful thing, so let's try.". They will easily come quite far, at some
point they get stuck, find a way to enhance Sage -- and whoops! They
become contributors.
And for sure this way of attracting new contributors is only possible
since Sage is open source.
Yours
Simon
