Hey,

For the last few weeks, there has been an ungoing effort to develop
Gaussian Processes (which are another name for Kriging) in the
scikit-learn (http://scikit-learn.sourceforge.net/). The initial code has
recieved a lot of comments and subsequent work:
https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/14

The scikit-learn is current a very active project, with many contributors
that share a good expertise on machine learning and computational
statistics issue, a high standard for code, and frequent releases. It
would be really great if people who have usage or knowledge (or both) of
Gaussian processes could join in the discussion on the Gaussian processes
branch and, if possible, help improve the code or the documentation, or
the examples.

Hopefully this would open the door to having Gaussian process (or
Kriging) available to the community in a standard package.

Cheers,

Gael
