Spot on. Slashdot has high PageRank. After obtaining a few stories there, sagemath.org will have a much higher PageRank. It could be billed in the typical "Open Source XX Killer/Competitor" way. Ex. "Open Source Mathematica Competitor". This really gets the juices of the Slashdot hordes flowing. Of course, it is important to have a killer demo and a really fast server waiting on the other end of a Slashdot link... > > - buy some Google Ads, apply for venture capital ... kidding I think it is worth looking at since they're so serious about making SAGE successful. > > - when I did my GRE Math test I noticed that many shady websites try to lure > you into installing some dialer to get some GRE Math prep material, like > solutions with explanation.
