Yes, I googled for """sage notebook data files""", which gave me the
following Sage Reference Manual links:
http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/doc/html/ref/module-sage.server.notebook.twist.html
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/html/inst/node10.html
http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/doc/html/prog/node73.html
and the talk of Alex Clemesha:
http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/talks/2006-11-17-alex-clemesha/sage-talk-notebook.pdf
Not surprisingly, the Sage Days talk notes tend to be very useful
references for core functionality (and I would suggest possibly making
a home for some of them by topic on sagemath under Documentation).
This should really be mentioned in two separate places:
1) Describing structure (and location) of the sage_notebook
directory
[Programming Guide]
2) Migration from a previous version
[Users Guide]
(The Users Guide to me is something between the Tutorial and the
Reference Manual, and describes common operations and questions. The
topics here should initially come from complete answers given in the
sage-support list, as well as common-knowledge practices for power
users.)
I'm maintaining for myself a list of common tasks that I have to do,
and would be happy to assemble these in a document and add it
somewhere. Is there any good documentation documentation? I found
this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/40b31802dd3405a3/126b407a062cda63?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=documentation#126b407a062cda63
but it only describes how to dynamically update a local copy of the
Reference manual. What about changing the Tutorial/Programming Guide?
Thanks,
-Jon
