Dear all,

Right now, it is not possible for new users (with karma = 1, or even < 10) to post questions nor answers to ask.sagemath.org. This is a bit a shame since this kind of website is very useful in particular for softwares like Sage where one may need some savoir-faire which is not exactly in the documentation. For instance, I just saw some question I have the answer to but being new, I cannot help!

My question is that it seems that for some time now, new users are told that until upgrade, it is not possible for them to use ask.sagemath.org. Is this upgrade expected in a reasonably near future? In the meantime, I may be a good idea to reduce a bit the advertisement for it that one can find at many places on sagemath.org.

Thanks!
B.

Hi Bruno,

My answer won't help the case in point but ... 

Here is some plug: there is a proposal for Sage StackExchange site which can get off the ground with more support (at the moment, we are short of the threshold number of upvoted questions). So, please follow the proposal, add new example questions and upvote some old questions.

Hi Kannappan,

Actually, I was thinking that it may be a good idea to be part of Stackexchange to maximize visibility. So I am now a follower a I am looking forward to see the platform launched!

Best,
Bruno
