I think this discussion is heading in a completely wrong direction: Sage is a learning experience for everyone. Nobody outside of Sage has experience in implementing a large-scale general-purpose mathematics software in Python/Cython.
People contribute to OSS because they have a itch to scratch, not because they read an ad. Only people that are interested in Sage will contribute to Sage. You need to focus on getting out the word that Sage exists and what its aims are. Potential contributors with less experience are not "losers" that "drag everyone down". Everyone started out as a novice. Finally, I'll keep my opinion to myself about "advisors" that treat undergraduates as worthless workslaves to do menial tasks in $OBSCURE_PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE. -- 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
