>From discussions with others at SciPy, we found ourselves disagreeing on
what default we would want. We also weren't sure exactly which params were
the ones that people tended to change. We have zero data on this. This site
is intended to help start that data collection process.
We can certainly improve this site to collect other kinds of info, but this
is just a start. One could also view this as a launching point for teaching
how to use rcParams (sorry David, i kinda like that name) in mpl. You all
know I never let a good teaching moment go to waste!
As for linking from matplotlib.org, I am ambivalent. It is a bit gimmicky,
and I do worry about being counterproductive to efforts in SciPy to be more
inclusive of women (given the rather anti-feministic undertones of the site
we are parodying). Of course, that could just be me being overly cautious.
Cheers!
