I do believe so. And also, I'm pretty sure that SMC being open will gather even more people to Sage (it was already doing it while it was close) and this way bring more potential developers and a bigger interest of the math community. I find it a VERY good news! And I must say, it is at the exact right time for us on our own European grant proposal. If we get the grant, I hope we can get some developers to work on it!
