Nice post. Altough it's really written from a commercial point of view, so not everything is directly applicable to sage.
Also I clearly feel how much work it takes to get, "a small fix" merged upstream is very dependent on the particular upstream in question. In his article he sais it's such a big amount effort that it's basically not worth it. But my experience is that small fixes are most of the time not that hard to get merged upstream. The article also made me wonder for wich sage packages we don't have sage developers wich are also developers upstream. I'm also curious for wich project sage is considered upstream, of course there is psage but are there any others? -- 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
