Since the arguments in the numeric vs. numarray debate have been spread over many months, they have been hard for me and others to follow. There is now a wiki on scipy.org for summaries of the main points and requests for tasks to be done in resolving the issue: http://www.scipy.org/wikis/featurerequests/ArrayMathCore The wiki states facts about each package that are relevant to the debate, and the desires people have for an eventual array package. Under "Desires", please feel free to pose questions that need to be resolved and tasks that need to be done. If you are interested in helping to resolve this split, consider taking on one of those tasks. Do post to the mailing list to see if anyone else is doing it and to get feedback on how to do it well. --jh--
