For the benefit of those of us interested in both discussions, would you kindly start a new thread on the MA topic? In response to Travis's suggestion of writing up a short summary of community principles, as well as Matthew's initial formulation, I agree that this would be helpful in enshrining the values we cherish here, as well as in communicating those values to the next generation of developers. >From observing the community, I would guess that these values include: - That any party with an interest in NumPy is given the opportunity to speak and to be heard on the list. - That discussions that influence the course of the project take place openly, for anyone to observe. - That decisions are made once consensus is reached, i.e., if everyone agrees that they can live with the outcome. To summarize: NumPy development that is free & fair, open and unified. We'll sometimes mess up and not follow our own guidelines, but with them in place at least we'll have something to refer back to as a reminder.
