Yes. The question is whether we can put together a group of
developers to build the infrastructure, which is a lot more
than just code. That means, in particular, good documentation
and using it for our own projects.
Right on! I would be willing to help with documentation if
there were a concerted effort in this direction. There have
been a number of failed individual efforts over the years. So
how can a group effort be promoted?
Is the Dscience github project an adequate platform? How can
other people get involved? Is a dedicated discussion group
needed? Can we develop a plan of some sort rather than just a
scatter of individual efforts?
Yes, come join https://github.com/DlangScience. Ilya and I have a
plan of sorts, but it needs formally writing down. For now we
have been using a private Gitter room for discussion, which has
been OK for now but likely won't scale.
Anyone serious about getting involved, drop a message here:
https://gitter.im/DlangScience/public and we can start to build a
picture of what expertise we have and what we're missing.
A proper public forum could be great, but I don't personally have
time to set up something like that at the moment.
