I think ideally unification should be in the form of a single image 
registration library that is well maintained by multiple people. Though I 
really don’t have the time to champion this effort :)

Having a central place where the available libraries are listed (plus how easy 
each one can be installed) would be a good first step that’s easy to make. 
Where should we put this list? At first I thought of a wiki page on 
github.com/skimage/skimage, though if we’d use a new Github project, we’d 
already have a name and place in case someone wants to put the effort in the 
above... pyimreg is a clear enough name :)

I am also very excited to see movement in this space. I remember talking with 
Stefan about this a couple of years ago... even having a go at implementing 
some things.. but then life got in the way.
Happy to relinquish pyimreg if anyone thinks that is a good banner for this 
work.

Aside from this announcement, I’d like to propose to put together a list of 
Python packages that do (nonrigid) image registration. Since efforts in 
Python-based image registration have only resulted in relatively small and 
unknown packages, it would be good to have an overview. What would be a good 
place for this? Maybe a wiki-page on scikit-image’s Gitub repo?

I've heard this from multiple fronts, and it is also an effort I am interested 
in.  We would do well to unify the various implementations lying around all 
over the place.

We worked on some tools 5 years ago: https://github.com/pyimreg/python-register 
 I've since often used Elastix (but your wrappers would have made that a lot 
less painful).  nipy (neuroimaging in Python) contains at least two 
registration packages: some functionality in DiPy, others in nireg.

A wiki page + a project on GitHub may be a good way to organize these tasks.

Thanks for taking this on; I am excited to see where it goes!
