The reason that this would even come up, from my point of view, is the comment I mentioned before at http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/7192#comment:26 <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Ftrac.sagemath.org%2Fticket%2F7192&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGxjUdZdK5plZnlCDxNu37vUvUnDA> (not my comment) that this document shouldn't exist:
"Moreover I am not sure if it is a good idea to include this code. It looks like a copy of the mathematica book, so it could be seen as a copyright infringement." "Well, in fact I think that the en, de, fr versions should also be deleted. Moreover, the copy is incomplete and I think that it does not apport anything to the newby with respect to the other documentation." > Please William, do not be so defensive. > I don't think that was the intent, just that he didn't get why it should be removed. I think there are good arguments to remove it (mainly that it's not particularly useful, or wouldn't have been to me as a newbie) but also keeping it in as a "Five-minute intro" seems quite reasonable. In any case I'm sorry I got this going, because Nathann's original idea was just whether this should be removed or possibly moved to a more sensible (not top-level) location. I agree that the document seems partial; the Hungarian translation I think was one that almost didn't happen because of that objection. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
