Sounds reasonable.

What about scyimage or skyimage? Then one can pronounce the import without without entering consonant mode i.e. esskayimage.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I feel the plural works better.
