Have a decent landing page--not the user guide. 2. Store the generated webpage in a separate repo, not to pollute the code repo. We should therefore have the following repos: - scikits.image (also contains user guide rst) - scikits.image-web (landing page rst) - scikits.image-web-html (generated web page) - scikits.image-doc-html (generated manuals) Then, I'm also thinking of moving the project to a new entity on github. What would you suggest? "scikits-image.github.com" or "scikit-image.github.com" (the latter is the convention that scikits.learn uses, but not sure whether that is the best form?). Having the project move away from my name means that I can add other administrators to the project, so that I am not the bottleneck in applying patches. If you know of a person who would be willing to help with the webpage design, please let me know. Thanks!

There are some differences in our documentation and styles. For example, I like for the contributors.txt file to be updated, and for the docs to be in the numpy docs format and highly descriptive. In this example, I cannot figure out what the function is meant to do, so based on that I would be hesitant to commit. Maybe add a longer description, as well as a few references.

I've added that chunk of code from the CellProfiler code to a branch in my repo: https://github.com/tonysyu/scikits.image/tree/reconstruction The addition was added over a series of commits with only minor changes to the original CellProfiler code (except for one large, unused chunk of code that I deleted). That brings me to my question: what are the suggested changes when merging CellProfiler code? Is it as simple as putting the chunks of code in the right place (i.e. putting the code in the correct module(s) and adding the tests)? There's a number of things that could be added/changed, but I'm uncertain about how much *needs* to be done in order to be "acceptable" for addition into the scikit.

Even in the papers I've read, the descriptions are quite difficult for me to understand (the figures in those papers really help). I've also added an example to the docstring, but it's quite ... verbose . I'd like to add a longer example in the docs, but that will have to wait until I have a bit more time. When I do add it, where should put it? I'd like for it to be more like a tutorial than a function-specific example (specifically, I'd like to compare reconstruction and top-hat for peak detection).

There are currently a number of problems that need to be addressed (including the ones you mention).

In the end, every piece of code requires maintenance, and our aim is to provide a fairly generic set of tools that can be used to construct image processing experiments. I don't know this algorithm specifically, so I can't say, but it is an aspect worth considering. > I'd like to add a longer example in the docs, but that will have to wait > until I have a bit more time.

We are eagerly awaiting tutorial contributions for the docs, but no one's volunteered so far :) I'd love to have more of these, as it shows common patterns (such as how to use io, displaying images, etc.).

Speaking of building the documentation (sorry to hijack the thread), I've run into a number of problems: * Building docs gives the following error (Sphinx >= 1.0): Exception occurred: File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/docutils/statemachine.py", line 1193, in __radd__ raise TypeError('adding ViewList to a non-ViewList') TypeError: adding ViewList to a non-ViewList This turns out to be a problem in the Sphinx extension, plot_directive.py (see http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1489). As a fix, I changed conf.pyto import plot_directive from matplotlib.sphinxext. I'm assuming that this isn't ideal since plot_directive must have been forked from matplotlib by numpy to fix-issues and/or add features, but it seems to work for me. * Auto docs don't work properly (at least on my system) when other scikits are on the python path. Basically, the call to __import__('scikits.image') in apigen.py returns the path to *a different scikit*.

I just sent a pull request. Note that I haven't committed any changes to the API docs because I don't have a compatible version of OpenCV installed. Running "make clean; make html" should update a couple of those docs so that they can be committed. Unfortunately, there's still a number of warnings that I haven't had time to track down.

What about scyimage or skyimage? Then one can pronounce the import without without entering consonant mode i.e. esskayimage. What is the policy on scikit vs scikits? http://scikit-learn.sourceforge.net/ while scikits on the website text for example. If one builds a brand one should standardize on one or the other. 2011/7/17 St?fan van der Walt : > Hi all, > > I'd like to make you aware of the discussion on the scikits learn > website regarding package renames: > > http://j.mp/pt9bcg > > The problem is that the "scikits" namespace causes numerous problems > during package installation, and that we may need to consider renaming > the package. > > Since we recently moved over to > > http://scikits-image.org > http://github.com/scikits-image > > I suggest that we maintain this branding, and consider renaming the > package itself to "skimage", so that you'll do > > import skimage > > instead of > > import scikits.image > > Feel free to discuss name suggestions etc. (but do read Ga?l's post first). > > Thanks! > St?fan > From drnlmuller at gmail.com Sun Jul 17 10:33:09 2011 From: drnlmuller at gmail.com (Neil Muller) Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2011 16:33:09 +0200 Subject: Package rename In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On 17 July 2011 12:07, Pieter Holtzhausen wrote: > Sounds reasonable. > > What about scyimage or skyimage? I'm opposed to skyimage, as that will be hard to search for easily, but scyimage could work. -- Neil Muller drnlmuller at gmail.com I've got a gmail account. Why haven't I become cool?

I think I'm going to hold off onto the name change until the discussions in the other groups have been finalised. I don't think waiting is going to make the choice easier, but it does make it easier right now :) Cheers St?fan From stefan at sun.ac.za Mon Jul 18 06:20:47 2011 From: stefan at sun.ac.za (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?St=E9fan_van_der_Walt?=) Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2011 05:20:47 -0500 Subject: New website In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Tony On Mon, Jul 11, 2011 at 9:18 AM, Tony Yu wrote: > I just sent a pull request.

Your changes were incorporated into those made by Pieter, and have been merged.

For me the jump from sk -> scikits in our name would be similar to that from scy. The y is evocative of scipy and python in a way which could be good?

If that seems more natural we can make a plan. I feel the plural works better.

A made a minor tweak that made the table fit in (at least on my browser). Cheers St?fan
