Thanks a lot Emmanuelle and Stefan for following up on this thread. I 
think a survey would be useful to have an overview of what the 
scikit-image user base looks like, and what parts of the library are 
mostly used. You could have anonymised questions and also ask whether 
people accept to have their organisation/company named on a "Who uses 
scikit-image?" page.

Now that you have the scikit-image paper, it is easy to track academic 
works that use scikit-image:

Keeping track of companies is more tricky, and looking at the Python 
meetings (Scipy, Pydata,...) speakers/attendees/sponsors is the only 
easy way I see.

An advantage for companies to publicly mention they use scikit-image is 
that Python developers looking for jobs would probably start by having a 
look at the career page of companies that rely on their favourite 
modules. And it's free advertising.

Cheers,
