Ease of use, especially for people on Windows. I think they have advantages for sharing as well, as I can share a notebook with someone by posting it on a public (or personal) server, and they can go and get an account and use it without having to even install sage. This could be particularly nice for the classroom setting. > > 2009/12/4 tmb <tmb...@gmail.com>: >> Note, incidentally, that restoring from backup (whether in parts or >> not) is a major problem because the paths to the notebooks change. >> So, links that I put into the lecture notes point to the wrong >> notebooks, or are just dead. >> >> That's another reason why the current naming scheme really needs to >> change somehow. I agree. It would make for longer URLs and paths, but maybe we should have globally unique, and consistent, ids for worksheets (for example, just choosing a sufficiently large random number and using the ostrich algorithm to resolve collisions). Then one could at least link between worksheets reliably, and correlate worksheets across multiple servers. - Robert -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
