Hi All,

There is a proposed random number package PR now up on github: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/8209. It is from
and implements the number random number package using MKL for increased speed. I think we are definitely interested in the improved speed, but I'm not sure numpy is the best place to put the package. I'd welcome any comments on the PR itself, as well as any thoughts on the best way organize or use of this work. Maybe scikit-random
