"The problem of sustainability for open source scientific software projects is significant."

Yeah, William Stein can tell these stories too: http://sagemath.blogspot.cz/2015/09/funding-open-source-math...

Yeah, every open source scientific software seems to have an uphill task before it gets recognized. Sagemath more so than others because of its scale and having a huge code base. Having to integrate multiple open source projects isn't helping either.

But its a fine project and one that I use. For a collection of other projects it works better than most other individual projects.
