But it may be a good reason not to recommend others to do it. Moving interacts from the wiki into the library is encouraged in the developing for Sage video, and other threads, and some people new to Sage might be tempted to think it is too easy (copy, paste and export patch). The currently only example in the library (taylor_polynomial) makes it look like that. We need working examples that serve as inspiration. A policy, or template, or a sufficiently varied pool of working examples, should emerge from this thread, as there are several patches waiting for review where no testing is done.

That's very important. I'd even ask for a minimum rank to be included in the library. For example, I think 9737 shouldn't make it into the library, because the new graph editor allows the same goal, and is much more intuitive. I'd also add a button for "translate this interact", if possible. Very useful, specially for high school use. -- 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
