Re: scikits-image 0.4 release
Very cool :-). I was very excited to talk about the new release during my talk at Scipy India (a few hours ago), thanks for the opportunity to advertise the release! During questions, I was asked if during the sprint, it would be possible to contribute to the Debian/Ubuntu packaging. I don't know the status of the packaging, and if something could be done to help with the packaging. What should I answer to the person who asked about packaging?

Announcement: scikits-image 0.4 ===============================
We're happy to announce the 0.4 release of scikits-image, an image processing toolbox for SciPy.
Please visit our examples gallery to see what we've been up to:
Note that, in this release, we renamed the module from ``scikits.image`` to ``skimage``, to work around name space conflicts with other scikits (similarly, the machine learning scikit is now imported as ``sklearn``).
A big shout-out also to everyone currently at SciPy India; have fun, and remember to join the scikits-image sprint!
This release runs under all major operating systems where Python (>=2.6 or 3.x), NumPy and SciPy can be installed.
For more information, visit our website
New Features ------------ - Module rename from ``scikits.image`` to ``skimage`` - Contour finding - Grey-level co-occurrence matrices - Skeletonization and medial axis transform - Convex hull images - New test data sets - GDAL I/O plugin
... as well as some bug fixes.
Contributors to this release ---------------------------- * Andreas Mueller * Christopher Gohlke * Emmanuelle Gouillart * Neil Yager * Nelle Varoquaux * Riaan van den Dool * Stefan van der Walt * Thouis (Ray) Jones * Tony S Yu * Zachary Pincus

Thanks for mentioning the package during your talk; much appreciated! I hope you're having a good time at the conference, and I'm sorry I can't be there to sprint along.
During questions, I was asked if during the sprint, it would be possible to contribute to the Debian/Ubuntu packaging. I don't know the status of the packaging, and if something could be done to help with the packaging. What should I answer to the person who asked about packaging?
Absolutely! The biggest problem at the moment is that the package needs to be scanned carefully, and the (Debian) license file update accordingly. Furthermore, the package needs to be changed to handle the module rename to skimage. Then we also need a man page for scivi, the image viewer. See this PR for a summary: https://github.com/stefanv/scikits-image/pull/1 The latest Debian package files are kept here: https://github.com/stefanv/scikits-image/tree/debian I'd be really happy if someone could help with this, so that we can get 0.4 included in Debian (and hopefully in time for the next Ubuntu download).
