Wow, Sage sure is low on the list of interest for people. It is useful to know how little interest there is in sage among the scipy crowd :-). In your post you remark "I think it's worth noting --though not particularly surprising-- that the ranking roughly follows the generality of the tools." I have the impression that the rankings roughly follow the generality of the tools specifically for the purpose of numerical computation using Python. E.g., at a conference on social networking, NetworkX would probably be considered the most general tool. -- William > > We're currently contacting speakers, and we'll let you know once a > final list is made with confirmed speakers. > > Cheers, > > f > > > > -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
