[AstroPy] Some Feedbacks about Astropy

[Paul Kuin]

Reading all this, I think that part of the success of the IDL Astro library
is due to having one head, Wayne Landsman, put it all together. This reads
like a conversation on the tower of Babel. Everyone their own method.
 Someone should take the time to check and compare all the different
implementations. Some funding for such work would be very useful and save
on duplication.  I think this is a task that the IAU could(should?) be
involved in.
