I don't _remember_ querying editors -- I think we just wrote it and sent it. That said, it's always a good idea to query editors first, when possible. > They officially accept both types > of submissions; do you know whether one method has better chances in > practice? If we^* write up something reasonably short and very polished which hits the points suggested in this thread, *especially those suggested by Volker above*, I think it's almost certainly going to be published by the Notices. I wouldn't be surprised if the Notices article that started this discussion was by far the most read thing in that issue of the Notices, and the editors will know that a good followup is also likely to be of interest to readers, which is the sort of criteria they should be applying. If somebody contacted the Notices and gave them a heads up about our planned submission, perhaps the Notices would also contact Steve (Wolfram) and solicit a similar follow up article about the engineering methodology they use to address such quality issues. Including both our submission and something from Wolfram side-by-side in the same issues of the Notices would be of even more interest to readers. * By "we write up" above, I mean you write up something very, very rough, post it here, and get feedback. -- William > UAW > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
