Hi, while parsing the task listings of debian-science and -med I started to wonder whether it would be useful to add another one.
I'd like to hear your oppinions about establishing a 'science-neuroscience' meta-package. The justification would be to provide a single point of entry for a neuroscience workstation (what else). I think that it would be useful to have such a package, as the interesting candidate packages are a bit scattered around. Neuroscience research includes conducting psycho(logical,physical) experiments (pyepl), brain-imaging related work (med-imaging, although not necessarily targeting medical topics), including analysis and visualization (science-imageanalysis, -numericalcomputation), but also the statistical analysis of behavioral data (science-statistics). As large parts of the neurosciences are closely-related to psychology it could also absorb packages not even listed in any task right now (e.g. praat). And finally there are not-yet-created packages I have no clue where to put in the current set of meta-packages, e.g. http://topographica.org/Home/index.html (clearly neuroscience, but not imaging per se, yet not a general purpose simulator, ...) I'd volunteer to take care of such a meta-package, if that is necessary at all, or helps to establish such. What do you think?
