Thanks Gaëtan :) > I don't have enough time to help here, but I would like to offer my > help for one of the satellite projects, namely numexpr.

Sure. I remember you contributing some patches that were not trivial, so I've put you as a new owner of the project. Just remember than with more power, you should be more careful on what you do :) Mind that Mark Wiebe (mwwiebe) had been working with a completely revamped version of numexpr, mainly to adapt to the new iterator introduced in NumPy 1.6 series. His work is in "newiter" branch, and IMO, now that NumPy 1.6 has been out for a few months, I think it is a good time to release it. As the changes Mark done were very significant, I suggested this new version to be labeled 2.0, but it is up to you to decide now! Finally, I'll write Mark and propose him to become a new owner too. This way you could benefit of each other opinions ;) Thanks for wanting to become the next numexpr maintainer and good luck! -- Francesc Alted ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
