Congratulations on a successful release! I was just looking through http://scikits-image.org/docs/0.3/contribute.html to find out what else is in the pipeline and it seems like many of the tasks can already be ticked off. What are the next priorities for this project?

What are the next priorities for this project? I think expanding the user guide should be a priority for the next release. The examples are already a great step in this direction.

I agree with Andy: writing a lot of documentation (improving the docstrings, writing examples for the gallery and writing the user guide) seems a high priority to me. More documentation will also help developers to know the package better, and to keep it coherent in the future (avoiding code duplication, etc.) In the short term, we also need to do the renaming to skimage. By the way, would someone volunteer to do the (slightly tedious) renaming work? As I brought back this issue, I reckon I could/should do it :-). But in the unlikely case of someone having plenty of free time and being keen on doing it, that'd be great ;-) Cheers, Emmanuelle

I can do that, if it can wait until this week-end! I've used grep in the past for such tasks :)

I see two main target audiences for the scikit: educators and researchers (maybe industry practitioners form a third group, but they've been quiet on the list so far!). For education, we need to write more narrative documentation, build more examples, and implement the algorithms that you'll find in a standard image processing book, such as Gonzales &Woods. For research, we want new and exciting algorithms, and great utilities for augmenting results (e.g. the drawing library just started). Examples of algorithms would include graph cut segmentation, structural similarity measures, star features, etc. On a more mundane front, we need to deal with the renaming and with updating pull requests accordingly (the rename will probably break all pending PRs?). While the scikit can work under Python 3, I was sloppy in not testing in under 3 before the release, so there are some minor tweaks necessary to make the test suite pass. I would love to hear any other suggestions... this is a community effort, so in the end we all get to decide which way to go. Cheers Stéfan
