I do not get why making the audience smaller makes the popularity higher... > Now, the expression "Sage and its subcomponents" is clunky; is there an > official term for the subcomponents?

I find the expression very unpleasant for the packages. Many questions are still open with the capacities of SE: * is it possible to get a dump of the entries of the database? * where is the source code? * is it possible to tune the code (e.g., as mentioned by Thierry, automatic bug reports)? If you open such SE it would be one more entry point to lose newcommers. There is already sage-support and ask.sagemath.org which artificially crerate duplicates. So I really do not see the point of opening one more tool in such a hurry. Vincent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
