Short version: I think this is a good idea. Long version: I think a 'Who uses matplotlib?' section in the website would provide good solid academic backing, too. I know the Met Office (PHIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and some of the guys in the PECOS group at ICES use it. Actual papers is great, but probably rather drab? I think if we want to show it off, we should include sample images from citations, rather than just citations. After all, how many people are going to chase a citation to see sample output when we have a gallery section? Better still would be to have an 'academic gallery' section. Perhaps this could be part of the gallery re-work someone was going to do (was it Tony? I forget). I don't know. I think the idea is good, but I think there needs to be some thought and consensus regarding the *best* way to get people to *visually* judge matplotlib's capabilities in the academic realm. This is just my two. -- Damon McDougall http://www.damon-is-a-geek.com B2.39 Mathematics Institute University of Warwick Coventry West Midlands CV4 7AL United Kingdom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
