They are different though. If you "share" a document you "share" it with a number of people, but not the whole world. If you "publish" it, anyone with access to the server can see it. The problem I find is that many "published" documents are just rubbish. It does not give a good impression to see a ton of bad examples of Sage usage published. I think it would be better i there were some read-only "demonstrations of good Sage usage", like there for Mathematica. http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/ I don't see any poor examples of Mathematica usage on the Wolfram Demonstrations pages, but we allow any old junk to be published. Perhaps the notebook should have on the front page, something like: * Demonstrations (examples of good Sage usage) * Publicly viewable documents (quality varies considerably). Put 100 demonstrations in the Sage distribution, and make them read-only. One tends to equate "published" with good quality, but in practice the published documents can be true junk. This looks like an attempt to spam, though it was not very effective. http://t2nb.math.washington.edu:8000/home/pub/20/ Dave -- 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
