Hi list,

First of all some good news from me is that the mahotas paper got
"Accepted after minor revisions"!

I want to time version 1.0 to come out with the publication, but I'll
release a beta over the week-end (just need to clean up before the release).

*

In general, for some of the documentation, I have started using

import mahotas as mh


A bit of googling has told me some people like

import mahotas as mah
or
import mahotas as ma

However, I think it's best if there is some consistency and there seems
to be no general google consensus. Therefore, unless people here speak
up for "mah" (perhaps there is some conflict with another package), I am
going to start using "mh" throughout the docs (including in the new
draft of the publication, where I will add another worked out example).

Best,
Luis

Yeah, good job!

It's a shame it was a bit late for me to cite it in a recent article I publish. I did include a reference to the github repo, though:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adfm.201300091/references

I'll be sure to cite the paper in upcoming articles where I'm using the same scripts.

Cheers,
Karol

Thanks.

I will cite you though as another example of someone using the library :)

In general, though, it's good to be able to get some credit for this
work. The code itself is useful for my research work, but it's citations
that pay for documentation and &c

Best,
Luis

I definitely understand and will do so in the future. Couldn't get it in this time before the proof, though.

Karol (and everybody else):

The way I wrote my last post, it seemed like an accusation of you
personally, which was not my intention at all.

I was trying to make a general point about being happy that I can now
get some academic credit for a type of work which otherwise could be
seen as "slacking with a side project instead of doing research."

Unfortunately, I put it a context which made it into something non-intended.

I am sorry,
Luis

Luis,

It's OK. Even if you were mad at me I would understand :) I know how frustrating doing side projects and coding tools for your own research can be. Publishing as soon as possible definitely is helpful.
