I agree that Robert's slide doesn't reflect well the current state of
the project. I think it would be fair to say that scikit-learn was 1)
started as a GSOC by David Cournapeau 2) revived, redesigned and
popularized by a core of INRIA researchers and 3) is now a
community-driven project [*] (with occasional funding from INRIA,
Google and others).

It would be nice to clarify if INRIA is still paying an engineer for
the project and if so whether he's full-time or has other duties.
