In terms of features, something comparable to Apple's grapher application would be nice. Specifically, if you give, say, a polynomial in two variables, it should automagically do implicit plotting. I think that having dead simple implicit plotting could be a huge selling point for SAGE. ~Bobby On

Hi David, Thanks for reporting those few minor failures. Those are, in fact, extremely useful, since I don't have an amd64 machine running suse, and it's extremely important that all doctests pass on all known build machines. I've fixed the corresponding doctests. Now that you have sage-2.5, y

According to the mailing list for LiDIA, it was GPL'd last year, but no one has updated the web page with the new license information. More precisely, the authors agreed to allow it to be GPL'd last year, but none of the files contain the GPL preamble, nor is there a copy of the GPL in the tarball
