I guess we are getting ahead of ourselves, but since the topic was brough up: The IEEE Journal layout is distributed under the Perl Artistic License at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/IEEEtran/ with the additional advantage that it has a LyX template (included in the LyX distribution). The idea of a journal for pythonic science appeals to me as a student. In order to complete theses, large pieces of code are often written; yet, for all that time spent doing that there is no reward in terms of a publication. I agree with David that this may motivate contributing scientists to write better code. We could probably do with a review of the level of testing done in scipy/numpy ourselves ;) Regards Stéfan
