Hi Professor Stein,
The person in charge about the high priority list is:
John Sullivan, FSF
Manager of Operations
<[email protected]>
He is very nice and I he will help you with any doubt. The advantage
that I see is that would be easier to get more funding for Sage if it
is listed in there, even founding from the FSF itself.
Best wishes
Antonio
