The best way to keep in the loop is to comment on this list and pay attention to threads that discuss it.Thank you for speaking up, as I was aware of your significant use of the current masked array in NumPy, but it is good when you can articulate your use-cases and APIs that are helpful or

Travis, We have a significant user base for masked arrays, with a lot of "real-life" experience, use-cases and data. We would really like to get involved on this, please keep us in the loop. C. On 5/18/12 2:47 PM, "Travis Oliphant" wrote: >Hey all, > >After reading all the discussion around

Hey all, After reading all the discussion around masked arrays and getting input from as many people as possible, it is clear that there is still disagreement about what to do, but there have been some fruitful discussions that ensued. This isn't really new as there was significant disagreeme
