Hi All, Thanks a lot for your responses. Gaƫl : Certainly not looking to break any openness or trust, that's why I asked :-) After a bit more thought on the font issue, I think the danger of implying my package is reviewed/endorsed by scikit-learn is too great with the graphic similarities that yo

Hi Trevor, I am only speaking for myself, not on behalf of the scikit-learn project, but I would be +1 for your project and use of the -learn suffix. The pros you cite are in my opinion more important than the cons. Cheers, Gilles On 28 April 2015 at 05:33, Trevor Stephens wrote: > Hi All, > >
