Ok but the point is that the entire structure of Sage is built keeping in
mind that everybody is a mathematician and knows how the thing works. It's
not about the 5 million lines (which is huge stuff if you face it for the
first time). It's about the math.

Don't laugh too much but I don't even know what a polynomial ring is. :D

IMHO there should be (or maybe I didn't find it) a "*list of 20 minutes
bugs nobody wants to fix because they're boring but really you can fix them
in less than half an hour if you want to start with something easy*" thing
on the website. :P
