Hi Bruce,
I agree with the "skill issue" you raised. My own experience being :
1) For some years, I've been a quite heavy user of numpy and various
scipy modules.
Zero knowledge of the numpy code
2) I recently (November 2011) subscribed to numpy & scipy ML.
Going through the various topics coming every day, I feel like I'm
learning more & faster.
I'm now browsing numpy's GitHub from time to time.
3) Now I see regularly messages about topics like datetime(64) and NAs
about which I feel I could share my ($.02 !) views as a user or as a
potential user. But in the end I don't write anything because the issue
is so complex that I feel both lost and silly.
I have no solution to propose, so I try to keep on learning...
