Researchers: Please consider citing this paper if Cython helps your

Is this the canonical citation reference for Cython now? If so, can
this be
mentioned on the Cython webpage somewhere that is prominent enough to be
found?
On a related note, would it be possible to post a preprint somewhere
that isn't behind a paywall? If that's allowed, I would be delighted
to share the preprint with friends to introduce them to Cython.
Yes, I think we can post the pre-print, though I'm opposed to making
this the "canonical citation" just because of this paywall.
Is this for ideological or practical reasons?
Both.
Actually, opposed is probably too strong of a word here. I'm
disinclined, but there isn't really a better option. Currently, people
usually just cite the website, for whatever that's worth.
http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=cython
And I don't think that's worth very much. To me it's really looking like
CiSE citation or no citation at all.
Next time we've got anything to share in a paper, let's do it here:
http://www.openresearchcomputation.com/
Although that wasn't around when we started writing the paper.
Or at least look into this more carefully. Some of CiSE's papers are
open access, I (naively) thought ours wouldn't be hard to get to
either. It is a nice paper though and I think it'll hit a nice
audience (who primarily won't even be aware that they're paying
through it indirectly through university overhead and monolithic
library subscriptions).
I did the same mistake, because I couldn't see the paywall myself. At
the time I actually had a hard time finding an internet connection that
wouldn't transparently serve me the PDFs. And once I learned I figured
it was a bit too late to back out.
I've learned a lot since then.
