[SciPy-User] Proposal for a new data analysis toolbox

[alind sharma]

Hi,
I would as well like to contribute to the code. I know some python and now 
learning scipy as well. 

So this will help me in learning a lot.
Is there a code base already to start with.
May be some DVCS like git/mercurial on some website like google-code or 
bitbucket or gitorious can be a starting point.
Regards,

 Alind Sharma

Well, if you will join me in creating that package right now then it
will no longer be a pipe dream: I will help you and it will happen
(hopefully others will join us)! I really don't think we have mutually
exclusive goals. Otherwise I will likely sit on the sidelines and
build my personal collection of random data analysis code...
