Hi All, First, it will be great to have more people developing! On avoiding potential conflicts: I'm not overly worried, in part because of my experience with astropy (for which NASA support developers at STScI and CXC). One possible solution for trying to avoid them would be to adapt the typical

Great news, Nathaniel! It was a huge boost to matplotlib a couple of years ago when we got an FTE, even if it was just for a few months. While that effort didn't directly produce any new features, we were able to overhaul some very old parts of the codebase. Probably why the effort was so successfu
