Hi Marcus. Thanks for picking this up! I did not realise we did not have kpl, gun/labplot and others under some sci category yet, so I think this would be nice to do indeed. Just one suggestion: all the sci-* categories are in fact full words and not shorthands, so it would make sense to make this a full word too. Something like sci-visualization or sci-plot.
Oh, another one. When you submit the proposal to -dev it will be nice to include an estimate of how many other plotting/graphing packages we have lined up in bugzilla. Not that it makes it any stronger with the list of 16 already in portage :), but still is nice to have.. George On Sunday, 27. November 2005 21.53, Marcus D.
