Yeah, great! :-)

I just created https://github.com/viennacl/pyviennacl-dev and added you 
as collaborator. Simply push the relevant code using e.g.

git remote add origin <URL>
git push -u origin <branchname>

You might want to either strip out old ViennaCL commits from the 
history, or start with a completely fresh initial commit. Automatically 
generated files should not be part of the repository (i.e. 
documentation), as it would quickly clutter the history.

Are you okay with adding a page
  http://viennacl.sourceforge.net/pyviennacl.html
for the description and a folder
  http://viennacl.sourceforge.net/pyviennacl/doc/
for documentation? If PyViennaCL grows nicely, we may consider creating 
a separate http://pyviennacl.sourceforge.net/ account.

Since 14.04 is a LTS release, it would be great to get both PyViennaCL 
and ViennaCL in on time. The PPA are certainly nice, but they also 
require a fairly large amount of additional setup, making it far less 
popular. Note: ViennaCL 1.5.1 has no more required dependencies, only 
optional ones (Boost, OpenCL). Please let us know if you need any 
further input.

> Right. I'm finally off to bed.

Good morning ;-)

Best regards,
Karli
