Hi All, First, it will be great to have more people developing! On avoiding potential conflicts: I'm not overly worried, in part because of my experience with astropy (for which NASA support developers at STScI and CXC). One possible solution for trying to avoid them would be to adapt the typical academic rule for conflicts of interests to PRs, that non-trivial ones cannot be merged by someone who has a conflict of interest with the author, i.e., it cannot be a superviser, someone from the same institute, etc.
But probably the larger issue is how to communicate larger ideas about where to go, ideas which might form "over coffee" at BIDS. We have NEPs and this mailing list, but neither seem particularly effective, in part because it simply is hard to take enough time to really think through the more complicated ideas that would be the whole purpose of a NEP. I don't know that this has a solution beyond trying to ensure that one always involves people who should be interested in it. All the best, Marten _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
