Hi everyone
Just a heads-up about two upcoming scikits.image sprints.
The first will be at SciPy 2011, held in Austin, Tx from 11 to 16 July.
Then, we'll do the same at the EuroSciPy conference from 25 to 28
August in Paris. Thank you to Emmanuelle Guillart for taking care of
the arrangements! At EuroSciPy, we'll be in the room next to the
scikits.learn guys, so there should be some great cross-pollination
and collaboration happening.
If you're around, come and join us to finalise the 3.0 release!
Here are the important dates again:
* SciPy: July 11 - July 16 2011, Austin, Tx
* EuroSciPy: August 25 - 28 2011, Paris
Regards
Stéfan

Excellent :) Thanks for the pull request; I've merged your changes
into master. A made a minor tweak that made the table fit in (at
least on my browser).
Cheers

Well, if you keep responding to my requests, I'm just going to keep bugging
you with more. ;)
I've added a pull
request<https://github.com/scikits-image/scikits.image/pull/9> for
changing the way the front page is created.
Cheers,

Thanks for your work on the docs! Your changes were incorporated into
those made by Pieter, and have been merged.

I think I'm going to hold off onto the name change until the
discussions in the other groups have been finalised. I don't think
waiting is going to make the choice easier, but it does make it easier
right now :)

For me the jump from sk -> scikits in our name would be similar to
that from scy. The y is evocative of scipy and python in a way which
could be good?
But yeah either way would be good, just a suggestion.

I feel the plural works better.

I'm opposed to skyimage, as that will be hard to search for easily,
but scyimage could work.

I think there needs to be a clear link between the project name and the
package, otherwise we may as well rebrand completely with some catchy name.

Their domain name struck me as slightly odd. What do you think about the
singular? If that seems more natural we can make a plan.

Sounds reasonable.
What about scyimage or skyimage?
Then one can pronounce the import without without entering consonant
mode i.e. esskayimage.
What is the policy on scikit vs scikits?
http://scikit-learn.sourceforge.net/ while scikits on the website text
for example. If one builds a brand one should standardize on one or
the other.
