Missing verb: "Funding for work on SAGE minimal and we need much more funding" Also, Mathematica 6.1 isn't out yet. 6.0.1 is, though. (check $Version and $ReleaseNumber (ReleaseNumber gives the third digit)) Perhaps you meant 5.1? On Aug 17, 10:20 am, "William Stein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

William, Looks good. First, the one thing I'd say is missing is some sort of comparison in an arena where SAGE does well -- you may already be planning this in a demo. My thought is this: you give a fair and balanced view of SAGE's shortcomings, but you don't stop to brag about the things

Nice job. You could list somewhere the areas where SAGE is better than anything else: (1) modular forms (functionality), (2) polynomial multiplication, (3) well-designed development environment, (4) SciPy for number crunching (some people on the SciPy list, for example, argue that SciPy is better

I think the "Whence SAGE" slide could focus more on milestones/ turning points rather than being basically a list of workshops (though that information could go on a different slide--talking about how active the development is (e.g. with #users/downloads/developers and/or patches). Some sig
