Just as a data point, Brian and I just discussed proposing the same idea to the ipython crowd. We've been in semi-stalled mode for a couple of months (life hit us hard and at the same time, and we just had too many balls up in the air at the same time). I'm offline this week, but in a few days we'll float the idea by the others on the ipython list to see what they think. I should note that the ipython circumstances are very different: numpy has a vastly larger team and is not in any way stalled. Hence consider the above just an anecdotal reference of a 'cousin' project, the specifics of numpy are different and I understand that. Cheers, f FWIW, I'm actually +1 on the idea for numpy as well, but my vote doesn't count because I don't really contribute almost any code directly. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
