package, that we had in July (going from scikits.image to skimage, see https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=fr#!topic/scikits-image/TcxVkGqTKOk). If we think that we're going to rename one day, then maybe we should do it as soon as possible, because otherwise we're going to have problems with package names: users will be confused, Yaroslav is going to have to make transition packages, and there will be problems on Pypi too. I have at home one of the developers of the scikit learn (Ga�l Varoquaux), who's telling me that they are happy about the renaming (scikit.learn -> sklearn), but that it created a lot of confusion for packaging. If we I was hesitant to do this initially--'skimage' doesn't sound

Ga�l tells me that the idea of renaming came from the statmodels scikit guys (see http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.scientific.devel/15306). I don't know about the other scikits; one problem is that there is a great heterogeneity in the impact or the activity (and quality, I guess) among the different scikits branded on http://scikits.appspot.com/scikits...

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 -Tony
