Could someone with control over the website set up a page like http://sagemath.org/development-programmer.html which, for now, would redirect to development.html, but could be modified later, once we have some content specific to programmers? I spent some time browsing the sage developer pages, thinking about the perspective of a programmer. It seems to me that the target audience is mathematicians with little or no programming experience. The first lines of the FAQ page about contributing to sage http://sagemath.org/doc/faq/faq-contribute.html read "This is a quick guide for anyone who wants to contribute to Sage. It is intended especially for anyone who is new to computer programming." One of the first questions there is "I’m not a programmer. Is there another way I can help out?". There is no corresponding question for programmers who are not mathematicians -- is it really supposed to be obvious how they can help? I think I'll start a new thread with this question; I'm also cc-ing this to sage-marketing in case there's anyone there who isn't reading here. Please do keep the main thread here though :) Oh, and I also vote for the single color graphic, for branding reasons. Also, two-tone versions of the graphic have become prevalent in recent years (this one is white and purple) -- I think this gives a "fresh and new" edge (which is perhaps the same as 'amateurish', I admit). -Niles -- 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
