Hi again, to sum up the two days i spent at the Maths' Teachers' Summer School, i must say that my presentation of Sage produced mainly two reactions (understand : AND, not XOR) : ** real interest in the Software because of it's potentialities. People were willing to use it. ** real need of tutorials and ready to use worksheet with well documented "used case".
Here are some of the fonctionalities that are asked for : ** Help page in french, and of different/selectable level ** the possibility of restricting available commands (for use in classroom) (some kind of 'profile') ** real CMS functionality (why doesn't Sage use Zope as a whole ? ZODB are fine but Zope would nicely manage authentication, roles, templating, etc) ** a 3D animation module ** some type issues are hard to understand for beginners (a command giving back a float not considered as a Sage Real, etc...). It is hard to get a complete view of the types used by Sage and "what goes where and when" ** Definitely, a rich tutorials site in french, with step by step explainations for on topic at a time. For that last point, i believe it would be nice to have a script that transforms a worksheet into an HTML document, not using any Table layout but structured in such a way that it would be possible (with CSS rules) to fix a two column presentation (as in the quicktour part of sagemath.org) or a one column presentation. Some people asked me if Sage would include GIAC. I'll read all the thread about GIAC on this list before saying more. Last but not least : most people were impressed by the quality of conception and the vast amount of maths topics covered by Sage. That's because of YOU. I thank you in there name.
