There is already a bulk of MRI related software packages contributed to listings in those two tasks What would you call the task? what software would you like to list there? If to make just MRI specific task -- not sure. > Would there be any interest from other people besides me ? > How much work would it represent to organize such task ? not much ;) > Just testing the waters. FWIW you might like also to know about the NeuroDebian project: http://neuro.debian.net/ , which while concentrating on brains also is quite MRI-centric ;) We do package/maintain some software under debian-med and debian-science blends umbrellas and list them in those tasks pages. As for the packaging discussion place -- debian-med mailing list would indeed be a good venue ;) -- Yaroslav O.
