Hi Nicolas, The list sage-nt was set up to have a lower volume and lower noise forum for sage-devel issues with mathematical (number theoretic) interest.
I also don't track sage-combinat for similar reasons as John, and miss most of what passes on sage-devel due to the high volume. Maybe there should be a sage-algebra list (as John suggested) for discussions of algebraic and categorical topics of mathematical interest. I'm likely to miss discussions on sage-devel in between discussions of compiler and architecture problems. Cheers, David On Mar 10, 5:31 pm, "Nicolas M.
