sage bibtex reference

[William Stein]

Hi,

I was citing Sage in a paper and noticed that the sage bibtex reference at

http://wiki.sagemath.org/Publications_using_SAGE

since it had me as the only author and the year 2007 maybe. So I
changed it to

@manual{sage,
Key = {SAGE},
Author = {W.\thinspace{}A. Stein and others},
Organization = {The Sage~Group},
Title = {{S}age {M}athematics {S}oftware ({V}ersion 3.3)},
note= {{\tt http://www.sagemath.org}},
Year = 2009}

The "and others" is a special bibtex command that comes out as "et
al." when parsed.

Anyway, the bibtex entry was designed when there were a lot less
people involved in Sage. I'm happy to revisit what it should be in
this thread.

For instance, it says "The Sage Group", but nobody ever refers to us
as that; in fact, "The Sage Group" sounds like some corporate
organization or something.

Well, instead of "The Sage Group" you might want to consider something like:

* The Sage Development Team

* The Sage Foundation --- I was thinking of the site
https://secure.gifts.washington.edu/as_mathematics/gift.asp?page=make&Code=MATSAG

Or even just The Sage Project sounds natural to me.

That sounds fine.

This would be misleading, the Sage Foundation doesn't write Sage.

I like that one best.

I once suggested "The Sage Hive Mind"...

Right.

I'm not as happy with this one: the Sage project sounds like something
to work on, not the group of people that work on it.

I ended up changing it to this:

@manual{sage,
Key = {SAGE},
Author = {W.\thinspace{}A. Stein and others},

Organization = {The Sage~Development Team},
