sage on google knol

[Harald Schilly]

Hi, I've started a small article about Sage on google knol. I don't
know if it is any good, but worth a try i think (web statistics will
tell me). It's not like wikipedia, where articles should have a
neutral point of view - instead - it is more subjective and therefore
ok if it is written by Sage people. It's more similar to
everything2.com. So, if someone wants to edit it, i set it to
"moderated edits".

Thanks. I slightly edited it. Are there related articles in knol that
you know of that one might look at to get a sense of what the Sage
page should potentially look like in the long run?

No, not really, but since it is more a collection of articles than a
encyclopedia, a good direction would be an article titled: "Sage as an
answer to proprietary software in mathematics" or "Why open source in
mathematics matters" .

one about OSS: http://knol.google.com/k/sunburned-surveyor/open-source-software/
unrelated, but an example for an article and nothing for an
encyclopedia: http://knol.google.com/k/ron-young/the-future-of-knowledge-management/

What about taking the 1-page article David and I wrote that is linked to the
upper right corner here:
http://www.ams.org/notices/200710/
and making it into a Knol?
