They organize information and make it universally useful. Sage doesn't help and what you suggest only overlaps with their own search engine efforts. Their vision is a search engine that gives you instantly the answer you are looking for and websites only serve as references. In my eyes, what they try to do with gsoc is a mix of sponsoring open source projects (because they use them heavily ... i.e. they were sponsors of the R project long before there was any gsoc at all) and also do a mix of of marketing+recruiting for potential new employees. So, what they look for is a project that helps them or a project where these kind programmers are attracted that they want to have. Hence, everything with pure mathematics is not on their list [yes, there is google research, but that's not gsoc] and there are only very few math related projects that were in gsoc in the past. That's why I already wrote above that I think that the best chances are with "pure informatics" related problems where already solutions exist. That must be communicated in that way, too! I think of things like account management, user management, interactive websites, compiler (cython, ...), databases, and probably visualization. greetings H -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
