While this is true, we aren't offering anything. We don't (and won't) have an interview process, and we can't subscribe to the notion that "if a programmer doesn't have a job, they aren't worth hiring", in large part because we're asking the public at large to help. > I doubt that you benefit if you recruit unskilled, uneducated, > unemployable, unstable > .. unwashed? people. Bottom line, it's better to recruit people and get a few bad apples than not recruit at all. This is an open source project, and we have an editorial process. If somebody submits lots of junk code, they'll find the review process impossibly frustrating and almost certainly lose steam before taking up a significant amount of anybody's time. -- 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
