Comment(by kcrisman):
Hi! If this doesn't slow things down, it is a really good idea,
especially given that Sage is not trying to cover up the other programs
inside of it. I assume that (given the comments on the blog) you will
post timing information in critical areas eventually.
I have one substantive comment, I think:
> You'll need our pybtex-spkg in order to make it work:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/burcin/spkg/pybtex-0.15.spkg
Hmm, so does that mean we would need to make `pybtex` a standard package
in order for this to work? (Currently there is a probationary period
needed, which we have recently
[http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/11563 been enforcing].)
Or are you suggesting this would be an optional spkg (for now), which
means your examples would have to be optional for now?
Here follow a couple silly comments that don't actually review much, but
might still be worthwhile to ponder.
* Missing "to": `in order make it faster`
* A ''lot'' of the examples refer to Michael Brickenstein, which seems
somewhat less than advisable. I mean no disrespect here - clearly he is
contributing loads and deserves citations! But for the first-time reader
of this documentation, it would be nice to have a bigger variety of
citations, perhaps even beyond Sage components to the subcomponents. For
instance, the ones in the bibtex patch.
* What does [trac-3317-example-usage.patch] exactly have an example of?
I see the `@cites(citable_items.slimgb)` - is this demonstrating that we
get the same thing through the new decorator as we would have from
`sage.misc.citation`? This comment is probably just my ignorance
speaking, feel free to ignore it.
Good luck!
