Not anything from the top of my head... But, as a start someone might want to go over that numerical guide and try to work through it. I often find that this is a good way of knowing where a document is lacking in explanation, that it is ambiguous, etc. Of course I'm not suggesting that the same person should also provide fixes, but only point out problems in the document. Then someone else, or myself, would clarify those problematic parts. But I'm getting too general here... -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
