Nice job!
p. 2, line -4: insert comma between "very very" (i.e., "very, very")
p. 3, interact picture: label the controls so they look a bit nicer and
mean something to non-mathematicians. How about "Quality" and "Display
axes"?
p. 3, line -3: "2d and 3d graphics" phrase does not start with verb like
the other phrases do.
p. 4, line 2: "three-week"
p. 4, line 4,5: "two-week"
p. 4: you probably don't need quote marks around the quotes since they
are already set off in blocks. If you do need quote marks, then you
need to put them around the second block quote (you just have the
starting quote mark)
p. 5, line 4: "collaborate"
p. 5, line 4: put Burcin's last name in and spell out what IRC is (or
just say "online chat" or something)
You maybe could mention that these two proposed goals particularly make
Sage attractive to the educational market, a huge area of potential
funding that Sage has not had success in yet (probably because these two
areas were not developed enough to be easy and powerful enough for many
educators?) I think improving the notebook and symbolic calculus are
unique projects that make Sage much, much more attractive for
educational funding.
Anyways, good job! I really, really, really hope this gets funded!
Thanks,
Jason
