Hi,
I'm curious. Is *anybody* reading this actually actively working on
(or planning to work on) making it Sage runs on the current version of
OS X ("El Capitan")?
With the last OS X version, Sage got ported to work on it by me buying
Andrew Ohana [1] a nice laptop running on OS X on the condition that
he port Sage to work on it. Of course, he's really a Linux user and
prefers linux, but he did what had to be done. One of the previous
ports of Sage to work on a newer version of OS X was an epically
difficult month of pain by Craig Citro, who was my postdoc at the
time.
My impression is that (1) getting Sage to work on this most recent
version of OS X will be much, much harder than ever before, and (2)
nobody is working on it. I've pretty much never seen a port of
Sage magically "just happen" to a new version of OS X.
Final question, if it's never going to happen without money say, how
much would I have to rustle up in donations to pay somebody to be able
to have the time to focus on this? Is there anybody who would want to
do this?
- 21% of visitors to sagemath.org in the last month were using OS X
(of those at least 20% were using El Capitan).
-16% use Linux.
- 50% use Windows.

[1] Really I used some internal math department award to buy a
UW-owned laptop that I then checked out to Andrew while he's a
student.
