i have been browsing the scikit-image and git docs, trying to feel out the community and workflow. i have a couple quesitons: scikits: i was originally reading these directions. http://projects.scipy.org/scikits/wiki/ScikitsForDevelopers then i looked over the directions linked in previous email from gael, and i am a bit confused. it doesnt appear that the scikit-image and scikit-learn share a common svn repo or use the 'namespace_packages` in its disutils setup. so i am unclear as to the meaning of a scikit, in practice. git: currently my project is hosted at google code, using svn. i see that git is the accepted version control system for scipy, scikit-image, and many others. being that i am sole developer, i dont see much advantage of using git for now, but it appears that it is being adopted, so moving to git is the correct decision. is moving to github from google code recommended or advantageous for scikits? naming: @gael, let me rephrase my understanding of your advice. i can create a git repository that has a name scikit-mwavepy, and the actual python module directory can have an arbitrary name, such as simply mwavepy. is this correct? this brings up the question of naming. are there suggestions as to changing the name mwavepy to something meaningful but also follows some convention for scikits? as a standalone package the name `mwavepy` made sense but as a scikit, it seems as somthing more to the point is appropriate such as skrf, or similar. sphinx/numpydoc: i have some technical questions about documentation concerning sphinx using the numpydoc extensions, is this a correct venue for these or should i post to sphinx mailing lists? thanks alex On 01/16/2012 01:31 AM, Gael Varoquaux wrote:
I'm not an expert on this, but I believe you just need to upload your package to PyPI with a scikits.<name> and it will become part of the index. Actually, the 'name' of the package just needs to start with 'scikit',

Gael V. wrote a nice example about how to get started, but I don't have the link handy. Perhaps he will post it again. You might be refeering to https://gist.github.com/1433151
