As for the second issue: We don't automatically import any subpackages (other than `util`). This was a design decision since automatic imports of all subpackages would increase load times (there may be other reasons too). On the other hand, if you just want to see which submodules are available for import, you can write `import skimage.<tab>` (note the dot before <tab>) or `from skimage import<tab>` in ipython.

Besides, Tony is busy updating all the module level docstrings, so that "skimage?" should soon deliver useful results :)

Cheers Stéfan

Wait a minute... Let me quote what I wrote in the original email: "One thing I'd like to see is a package docstring listing all subpackages..." Note: I didn't say that I would implement it ;) -Tony
