Hello everybody,

Sage is able to produce a bunch of data that is rather interesting to
me. This data can change between different versions of Sage, and is (I
believe) of public interest.

For this reason, I would like to publish [1] it online, and keep it up
to date with Sage. The easiest way would be for me to include it in
Sage's documentation [2], but:

1) Having it as a doctest is a bad idea, for this data can change
often and create a *lot* of branch conflicts while two persons work on
the code.

2) Having the module file add this data to the docstring means that
this computation would be performed every time the module is loaded.

The data I have in mind is simply a 'list of numbers'. It could be
similar to this page [3], except that this data is hardcoded and thus
does not change often. The appearance would be the same, though: many
many numbers (in a more readable format), generated from Sage's own
databases.

I write here to know if any of you would have similar needs. That may
also tell me how this should be implemented to fit everybody's needs.

Thanks,

Nathann
