I'm really glad you're thinking about architecture already, and even put the effort in to write something this detailed up. That said, I am personally not going to do any work on something where the goal is just to "get something up and running during bug days". Whatever I do, the goal will be to do something that it is possible to _finish_ by Jan 14, and be genuinely usable. Implementing something with functionality the same as the notebook but scalable -- basically from scratch -- is hard. But the actual work you're doing (e.g., database schemas, diagrams to explain how things should work) is all very applicable to doing additional work directly to the notebook that will make it much more scalable. -- William > (The document is also available > at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uYJXPAWypGgb92QStJ19cW-29y4-hn5hi8oXMR-11TU/edit?hl=en&authkey=CISp9cQB > ) -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.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
