Agreed: there's definitely a wide range of activity among the scikits. sklearn and statsmodels are probably a couple of the more active ones, so they'd be good examples to follow. And I also agree that changing the name sooner, rather than later, would be best. +1

Is there a preference between `skimage` and `skimg` ?

Actually, `ski` is also available.  Three letters--not too hard to type, doesn't sound awful (es-kay-eye for scikits image), and after all--it's just a module name :)

I don't whether you'd take this in account, but it's quite hard to google. Googling sklearn directly links to the scikit-learn documentation. Same with statsmodels.

Thanks, that's a valid concern. Seems like skimage is the top vote so far, then. Any other votes? Cheers Stéfan
