The funny thing is that apart from the title, Mac-2 is not mentioned in the journal description (as far as I can see). > >> Or between it and Sage, apart from its one-letter-too-short acronym? > > There is no relationship whatever between that journal and Sage, except > for the funny acronym.

Do we really want language-specific journals for open source software? I can see that Maple and Mathematica would want their own, and conceivably even Magma. But if something I was interested in was implemented in Macaulay 2, and say I had never heard of Mac 2, I might not think of looking in a Mac 2 journal. Clearly the thing to do is to submit papers to it about Sage implementations and see what happens ;) John > > William > >> >> John >> >> 2008/9/24 William Stein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >>> >>> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- >>> From: Daniel R.
