If you want to put some time (e.g., an hour a day) into being an editor, I think that would be really cool. You could send personal emails asking people to referee tickets you think they would be likely to help with. If you want to write something like you describe above, that could be useful too. However, it would 100% absolutely have to be opt-in -- e.g., instead of "every registered developer selects some of areas", people would have an easy (web based) way of opting in and out of areas, and *nobody* would be opt'ed in by default. I would definitely opt-in to _something_ if there were such a system. If you don't know how to implement something like this, at least you could start by designing it. -- William > > > > > > -- > -- > 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 > > > -- 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
