Imo, what really drove this project forward, is that Skipper was able to interact regularly with someone else who was actively using and developing on the code base (i.e., Josef). While I am confident Skipper would have made a worthwhile contribution without this, I think he would agree that he both learned more and was more productive because he was able to interact with Josef. One other thing that was important was focus: Skipper (and Josef) focused in on making sure an important but doable (summer is very short!) piece of the stats code was refactored, extended, documented, and tested. Alan Isaac PSI do not mean to diminish the importance of the feedback kindly provided by others. _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
