Sounds reasonable.

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

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.

Hi all,

I'd like to make you aware of the discussion on the scikits learn website regarding package renames:

http://j.mp/pt9bcg

The problem is that the "scikits" namespace causes numerous problems during package installation, and that we may need to consider renaming the package.

Since we recently moved over to

http://scikits-image.org http://github.com/scikits-image

I suggest that we maintain this branding, and consider renaming the package itself to "skimage", so that you'll do

import skimage

instead of

import scikits.image

Feel free to discuss name suggestions etc. (but do read Gaël's post first).

Thanks! Stéfan
