Such a journal is a very good idea indeed. This would also support the credibility of python/scipy/numpy for an academic audience that legitimates scientific productions mostly by articles in journals. > 2) I think it's scope should be limited to papers that describe > algorithms and code that are in NumPy / SciPy / SciKits.

More generally, examples of uses of scipy / numpy ... would be interesting in such a journal, as well as simply the proceedings of the scipy conferences. > It is true that I could submit this stuff to other journals, but it > seems like that doing that makes the information harder to find in the > future and not easier.
