I think it would be very good to have the phrase "creating a viable
free open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Matlab, and
Mathematica" as soon as possible on the main page.   You'll
notice that this is in big bold right in the middle of sagemath.org
right now.  Also, if you look at a *lot* of the blog posts on Sage they
really "get" that description.  I just did a google blog search on
sage, and one of the first hits was this random blog I've never
seen before: http://mobkarma.com/node/66
The person starts "MemeStreams informs about SAGE, a
opensource mathematics software and alternative to Magma,
Maple, Mathematica, and Matlab."    I think somehow that statement
makes it clear to people right off exactly what Sage claims
to be about.
