No, not now. Modularization is an issue, but quite complicated, because every part possibly uses features from any other. Maybe projects like SymPy and matplotlib are more interesting for you? > 3. Is it possible, and easy if so, to integrate SAGE into > OpenOffice documents? There is currently a possibility to inlcude Sage into LaTeX documents. It reads lines from the .tex files with certain commands and inserts the results. For OpenDocument (the file format behind OOo) it should be _theoretically_ possible to accomplish the same by inserting custom XML tags (e.g. a macro for OOo with some UI to do this) and parsing them in the same way as with LaTeX documents - but nothing done into that direction. > > 4.

This has nothng to do with an open source philosophy (except for fundamentalists), because it just uses the command-line and needs a separate installation. h --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com 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://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
