Having been at a M2 workshop where this was discussed, I think I can provide some insight. All of the editors are indeed authors / big users of M2. They wanted a venue where they could have a refereeing / publishing system for their code and short articles about the code. That being said, I think their long term vision is to have something bigger so that other related journals would be able to be under the same umbrella. The name "The Journal of Software for Algebra and Geometry: Macaulay 2" even suggests doing something like "The Journal of Software for Algebra and Geometry: Sage" or just having everything under "The Journal of Software for Algebra and Geometry". The main thing would be getting editors and referees (as well as papers/code!) on our side. I think that it's good that someone is stepping up and doing this at some level since it's definitely something that people have been asking for for awhile. --Mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
