No, it is NOT just the number of contributors. Sage is nothing like Fint with 20x the number of programmers. In fact, all of your posts generally come from that assumption, but it couldn't be further from the truth. When I said "diversity", I meant diversity in mathematical interests of course. Not geographical diversity or color of the skin. There is no single person that understands all of the algorithms in Sage, or would be qualified to implement them across disciplines. Instead, there are many people taking on leadership roles in their respective field of research. Sage is very much a collaborative effort where no single person / university decides on where to go. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
