Hi David- Thanks for the interesing blog.
I think you've made a lot of good points. As far as increasing PDL's popularity, I think improving the documentation a la the PDL book is important. However, I think the single biggest thing we could do is make PDL fully support the win32 platform. There are an awful lot of folks using windows.... Some things that I would like to see for this summer: * finish 64bit index support (working on it :-) * finish PDL::Graphics::Gnuplot (still missing win32, I think) * better document PDL::Graphics::Prima (chapter in PDL Book?) * leverage Strawberry Perl v5.16.0 for PDL When we have a 1-click install for PDL on win32 platforms (and the others) with improved docs as with the PDL Book, we'll have the potential to increase the PDL market share. --Chris On 6/30/2012 1:40 AM, David Mertens wrote:
