Hi Eli.

I'm not completely sure what you're asking about. Usually more
real-time communication via IRC helps us to clear up those
misunderstandings much easier than over the mail.

If you ask how to install C numpy - yes, like that should work (I
believe there is *some* documentation somewhere?), although I would
install a development version, Not sure about what "new tests" you're
talking about
