OK, I'm not sure that's a great idea, but if we take that as a given: That page could use some clarification about what the heck the "stack" is, and what its relationship to the scipy and numpy packages is. And I still think it wouldn't hurt to more obviously point people to how to get either numpy or scipy themselves. So maybe my section about the "official" binaries, but lower on the page. I don't like "custom" as a title, as that makes it sound like advanced numpy-fu, not where a newbie looking for just numpy is going to look. But it sounds like the real problem is with the surrounding pages--that's the page you find when you try to figure out how to get numpy--if that page is about the stack, it should not be linked to directly from the numpy.org page without explanation. We do have a branding problem: "scipy" is a package, a "stack" and a ecosystem/community. It should be clear which one is being referred to when. -Chris _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
