Hi folks,
I don’t think I agree with Jay on this. For me January is ‘numpy for Java’ (although this is up to the project leaders, I thought that is what they were doing).
If the ICE data-structures replicate numpy functionality not present, they should be in the IC. If not they should be either added later if the project leaders agree or be in a separate project.
Mathematics follows where elegance leads, as they say.
All the best,
Matt

Jonah,
That is part of the reason you should have more committers: so you don't have to know everything about the code! :-P
Supposing that you do wait to include the code for ICE, it is still better to put the committers you want on the project now. Then, when it is time to start moving the code from ICE or any other project it can just happen without waiting
on elections. It takes quite a long time for a committer to address a few bugs and then go through the election. At the same time, it is important to have existing committers from the old parent projects on the data structures project because it is unreasonable
to expect it to all be dumped on you and Peter.
Another thing I just remembered: Didn't we decide that we wanted the name to include "data" in it somewhere? While I really like "January," I'm worried that no one will have any clue what the org.eclipse.january packages are all about.

Hi Jay,
Thanks for raising your concerns, lets keep this discussion going.
Regarding the first concern, while the intention was to try to include
ICE data structures in the initial contribution, I simply have not had
the time I hoped to be able to review these. With DAWNSci structures
it took a reasonable amount of discussion as well as work on
dependencies, restructuring and to & fro with Peter to get them into
the current state. Conscious of the fact the project proposal
mechanics take time, I opted to go with this 'minimum viable product'
and schedule the integrations with ICE, EAVP and others after the
fact.
Likewise, with the second concern, again I have opted for the lean
approach and gone for the bare minimum number of developers.
I share your desire to get the community involved as much as possible.
In this case my approach is to start with getting a minimal feature
set out and build up from there.
Thanks,
Jonah
