I posted the message below on sage-support, but apparently my questions weren't very popular:) I thought I would try here. I'm sorry if this is the second time you are getting this message.
I have a couple questions about published worksheets on sagenb.org. 1. I'm curious how editing a published worksheet actually works. Let's take Beezer's "Group Theory and SAGE: A Primer" as an example. This worksheet is listed among the published worksheets. If I am logged into sagenb.org, click on this worksheet in the published directory, I am presented with a static worksheet. If I click on "edit a copy..", I'm assuming that what happens is that a copy (not the actual file in the published directory) is saved to my "home" account on sagenb. Is this correct? The reason why I am confused is that "Group Theory and SAGE: A Primer" has a last edited date of 121 days ago (which according to Wolfram|Alpha is October 12, 2009; can Sage do that?). But the date at the top of the worksheet is Jan 30, 2009. Furthermore, the person listed as the last person to edit this worksheet is semerikov (maybe this is Rob's username?). To summarize: what actually happens when you edit a published worksheet? 2. If I find a published worksheet that I'd like to modify to make appropriate for my use, may I? Most of them do not have any reference to a license. Beezer's group theory primer does, but I'm not sure I understand the restrictions on the license. What's the appropriate protocol here? 3. I may, depending on how organized and motivated I am, try creating new worksheets and converting some of my old notes for calculus to worksheets. Currently, I'm using Stewart's "Calculus." I'd be happy to make these available to anyone, but I'm wondering if their is an appropriate naming convention? Would "Section 7.2*: The Natural Log Function (Stewart)" be an appropriate title that would be helpful for people? Also, I'm someone that likes to constantly improve (well, hopefully anyway) things. If I publish a worksheet and then change my copy later, how do you handle the published version? Thanks. Sage is awesome.
