Hi there, Sage Days 16 is coming up next week in Barcelona. On Tuesday, I will give a talk on how to get started developing Sage. At SD16 many people are attending who never attended a Sage Days before and thus we figured it would be nice to provide some hand holding to get into it.
My outline so far is: Motivation: - a brief motivation (shouldn't be needed at this point anyway) Overview: - a brief comment on Python and Cython - the pre-parser (i.e. library vs. command line) - SPKGs and the Sage Library - directory structure - finding the source file for a function - $SAGE_LOCAL/lib/site-packages/python vs. $SAGE_ROOT/devel i.e. explain what sage -b does Revision Control - basically the MQ stuff from the dev guide - how to repair your installation after you've broken it (i.e: "you can't really mess up badly, we have MQ!") The Sage Development Process - Trac/Reviews: the process - How to Review Patches The Sage Community - Where to ask, where are the resources etc. So my question is: What do people think? If you are a developer, what do you think must be added, what are the things a newbie should know? If you didn't contribute code so far, what would you like to see in such a talk?
