About the importance of being free software (or more precisely: te 
perception of it being important for the users), i thought about the 
possibility to make easier for the user to modify its own version of sage.

Not that it is hard (for people with some knowledge on software 
development) as it is, but it can be made much easyer for the user.

Think of this idea: a user, in the notebook, types foo?? and sees the 
source code of the function foo. But if he types foo??? (3 question marks), 
then an editor opens in his notebook with the code of that function. Then 
he can edit it, save, and automatically it gets compiled and his modified 
version of foo is just available for him. It could be possible even to open 
a dialog to automate the submitting of a patch to the trac server.

Do you think it could be a feature that people could appreciate?
