Well, after reading the comment THOROUGHLY (I'm not sure why I've done that), I agree. I must say that I wasn't aware of the fact that THIS is the general level of intelligence of slashdot comments, although I occasionally skim through the news. Anyway, it surely IS publicity :) Best wishes, Fabio

I read slashdot a lot, but I only read +5 moderated comments - you can set the filter to do that. If you read _all_ the comments, you'll feel ill. There is an exponential drop in intelligence with each point I think, at least after the mod points have stabilized. Anyway, its true, by Slashdot s

Yes, I was just going to say the same thing. planet.sagemath.org is the way to go. Besides developers blogs, there can also be an official blog (with several core sage developers having a write access to), where official things will be announced. Its true, that writing a blog requires time, but i
