This page lists all developers interested in contributing to various aspects of a potential common astronomy python package.

Add your name to any of the sections. Feel free to suggest new sections!

The sections are not in any order (no indication of priority, and some of these things are probably too advanced to make it into a common package)

Coordinating Committee

  • Erik Tollerud
  • Perry Greenfield
  • Thomas Robitaille

15th June 2011: We (Erik, Perry, and Thomas) would like to suggest that we try moderating the discussions and coordinating the efforts as a group of three rather than picking a single person. Please take the following poll to let us know whether you would be happy with this. The poll will remain open until Friday 17th at 9pm EST.

18th June 2011: The final poll results were 53 'yes' votes, and 2 'no' votes, so the three of us will form a coordination team
