== Other ==

We are aware of the official Debian Alioth project and mailing lists and later we can move things to Alioth if we decide to do so. But the google groups interface is nice and also the "debian-sage" project is not official in Debian (yet), but we already need to coordinate efforts.

The Debian Alioth project has never managed to get off the ground - and in no way could it ever be described as "official". It was started by James !McCaw but the alioth server crashed just a few weeks after some files and notes were uploaded - unfortunately they were all lost and there wasn't a backup. It would be entirely reasonable for this DebianSAGE effort to be seen as the central place to coordinate the efforts for packaging Sage for Debian. James !McCaw, 7 May 2008.

== Plan/Status ==

See the team mailinglist for uptodate information on what is happening. Join the Google group debian-sage for discussion. Packagers from other distributions and operating systems are welcome there, too.
An initial effort to port Sage to Debian took place in 2007--2009.
