Another option, given our (relatively) low volume, is to simply find an broad-enough but related site (such as scicomp.stackexchange.com) and start pointing user and answering questions there. By nature the stack exchange format works better when one has critical mass, and performs poorly if there are lots of little silos. I'd say it answering questions about Sage (or computational pure math in general, open source software or not) wouldn't decrease the value of that forum to users who are only interested in the traditional numerical computational sciences. - Robert -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
