Hi,

I'm happy to hear you have the opportunity to focus and do this work. I 
believe it will make it a lot easier to get new people involved if it is 
easier to understand how everything works.

Near the end of the document you say everrything will follow pep-8 but 
in all the renames the toplevel still has uppercase letters in it i.e. 
IPython. Is this an oversight or do you feel a change in top level name 
will cause too muh inconvenience? Personally I think this is the right 
opportunity to change it.

How are the changes to the testing framework going? Currently the tests 
don't work at all on windows in trunk. There is a WindowsError and no 
tests are processed.
