Huge +1.

I understand that the majority of Python and hence matplotlib people 
work on *nix boxes, so if you'd like a hand with testing, or anything 
else come to think of it, on my Windows Vista box feel free to ask, as 
I've been using matplotlib for around seven years and don't mind trying 
to put a bit back in.

My original offer (made several months ago) to help test this on Windows 
still stands :)

For the record my offer to help with testing on Windows is still open.

My offer to test on Windows still holds.  The question is test what? 
Assuming that the intent is to support Python 2.6/7 and 3.1/2/3 then 
different versions of Visual Studio are needed as detailed here 
http://bugs.python.org/issue13210.  I can't see much sense in me trying 
to build and test all that lot while other volunteers are doing exactly 
the same thing at the same time.  Is there a cunning plan somewhere to 
cover this that I've missed?

Oh mammary glands I'd intended to do some testing on Windows for you 
guys and it's gone completely under my radar, sorry about that.

I can still give it a try though.  I've got 2.7.3 and 3.3.0 on my PC but 
I don't want to repeat what someone else may have done already.  What's 
the best way forward?

Yep.  And a fantastic memorial in its own right to the late John Hunter.

IIRC matplotlib is currently third in the list of libraries most wanted 
by users waiting for Python3 compatibility.  I'd guess that many 
scientific users are aware of this wonderful milestone, but to spread 
the news at a minimum I'd put this on the main Python mailing list and 
on Python announce.  Or does that happen anyway, and I'd simply 
forgotten about it?
