Hi folks, Browsing through the directory
sage-3.1.4/devel/doc-main/overviews/numerical_sage I notice that Josh Kantor has written a document on numerical computing using Sage. Still excited about Harald Schilly's Documentation Quality Initiative (DQI), I'd like to update and polish Josh's notes if I have some time to spare in the future. Two issues I want clarification on are: [1] Is the document released under a Creative Commons 3.0 license, or a compatible license? Looking through the PDF as well as the .tex files, I can't seem to locate any licensing terms. The Sage wiki at http://wiki.sagemath.org says something to the effect that Sage documentation is covered by CC 3.0. It has a link to "Sage documentation", which points to http://www.sagemath.org/help.html But still no mention of Josh's document at the latter URL or the following URLs: http://wiki.sagemath.org/Teaching_using_SAGE http://wiki.sagemath.org/Teaching_with_SAGE http://wiki.sagemath.org/DocumentationProject Since the document is distributed along with each source release of Sage, many people would assume that Josh's document is covered by CC 3.0 or a compatible license. I just want to be clear about the licensing terms of this document, in order to know whether or not I'm at liberty to work on it for the DQI. [2] If the above document on numerical computing is covered by CC 3.0 or a compatible license, then I'd be glad to work on it for the DQI. However, would future source releases of Sage continue to ship that document? Or would folks post a PDF version of that document on a server somewhere and create a link to the document on the following page? http://wiki.sagemath.org/DocumentationProject I think that the last option is more in line with the DQI. What do other folks think? -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen Web: http://nguyenminh2.googlepages.com Blog: http://mvngu.wordpress.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
