 As much as I love scikit-image, I hate writing academic papers (there's a
reason I left academia!). I would feel a bit guilty having my name on the
paper without contributing any text to it; I'm not sure yet if that guilt
is strong enough to make me contribute to the writing (again, because I
hate writing papers---I still love scikit-image).

In short, I would be fine if I were left off the authors list (assuming I
haven't guilted myself into writing a section of the paper)---it would
great to be listed, but I also think an author on a paper should contribute
to the writing (... which, sadly, isn't always the case in academia...
actually you don't even have to contribute that much to the research
either... sorry I may still have some post-academia hang ups:P).

Best,
-Tony

P.S. Sorry I haven't contributed much to the paper discussion.
