hi Paul,

Skipper and I (statsmodels) relatively recently discussed moving
scikits.timeseries to GitHub and maintaining it there since we work on
models for time series analysis. I work very actively on time
series-related functionality in pandas so it might not even be
unthinkable to merge together the projects (scikits.timeseries and
pandas) and integrate all the numpy.datetime64 stuff once the dust
settles there. Just thinking out loud.
