I agree. The second abstract contains the message (among other things): 1. "If you have a standard computational problem then it is very likely that Sage provides the means to solve it" This is an important message IMO, because it may convince people to work with Sage. We know the result: If people work with it, they eventually contribute to it. The third abstract almost completely drops message 1. It has the main message: 2. "If you have a computational problem that can't be solved with existing software then Sage provides a good framework to produce a solution." This is important, too, and will attract a certain type of users. I suggest to try and combine both messages in one abstract. If you ONLY have message 2., i fear that the people could think that Sage is useless for everyday's work. On the other hand, message 2 is an important point: Sage has an active community and provides framework to develop new things in a hight level of quality.
