Thanks Minh very much for this explanation. Let me just say that I have some concern about choosing an option which limits your possibilities in the future. What if you decide to not only host the bibliography but also the pdfs on (bitbucket, github, ...). Obviously 1G is better than 100M. Do you sense this as a potential issue down the road? If not, fine. If so, I wonder if exploring googlecode a bit more might be worthwhile? > > -- > Regards > Minh Van Nguyen > > -- > To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to > sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel > URL: http://www.sagemath.org > -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
