Yes, that's definitely possible. Under what software license do you distrbute your java applets? E.g., I could definitely see making something like this one: http://www.socr.ucla.edu/NISER/NISER_HT_ResourceViewer.html part of the Sage notebook if it is open source. > We have been very successful with our prototype of > developing instructional materials, learning modules and computational > library for probability and statistics (www.StatisticsResource.org).

I think there definitely is, though a lot depends on the software license your project uses. Sage Days 7 is going to be *at UCLA* (where you are) in only 3 weeks -- you might consider coming to some of it: http://wiki.wstein.org/days7 William -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
