(I've Cc'd the scipy organizers list who should probably be able to
address your questions).

Hello,
At Scipy, we briefly discussed the possibility of having the nicest
plots of the John Hunter Excellence in Plotting Contest on
matplotlib's website, with the code available.
I personnally would love to be able to see those plots again, and the
code used to generate them. It would also be a great way to advertise
the use of matplotlib for high standard plotting.
I submitted this to the scipy papers repository, but I'm not sure where
that content was posted (or if it has been yet).

That contains the output of the Sphinx document I used to generate the
results (and also what I shared with the judges prior to the
conference). I can send you the Sphinx source offline.
When we solicited entries, we asked for permission for the Scipy
conference to use them. If we want to use them on the matplotlib
website, I think we'd need to seek permission for that (or we can, of
course, link to what SciPy posts). It was done this way because I
didn't want it to appear to be a matplotlib-based competition (though it
did turn out that way).
I would love to work on this. I was thinking that the easiest would
probably to do a dedicated website, where we could easily upload the
code, the data and the images in high resolution. It would also allow
us to have a more modern looking website, more "commercial" than the
matplotlib one.
Also, we (matplotlib) do not hold the copyrights but I think scipy or
numfocus does. Hence, doing this in the name of scipy (or numfocus)
would avoid some legal issues.
We could then be able to link to this website.
Sure. What I did is not terribly modern looking -- web design is a set
of skills I don't really have -- so I'd love it if we could modernize it.
What do you think?
(We should also include the organizers of the contest in this
discussion, but I don't really know how to contact them.)
This is a great idea. I think if there's a subdomain (or url) of
scipy.org we could use for this to host some static content, that would
be ideal. And then we link to it from matplotlib.org.
