[gentoo-science] Re: New category proposal - sci-vis

[George Shapovalov <george@gentoo.org>]

Hi Marcus.

Thanks for picking this up!
I did not realise we did not have kpl, gun/labplot and others under some sci 
category yet, so I think this would be nice to do indeed.
Just one suggestion:
all the sci-* categories are in fact full words and not shorthands, so it 
would make sense to make this a full word too. Something like 
sci-visualization or sci-plot.

Oh, another one. When you submit the proposal to -dev it will be nice to 
include an estimate of how many other plotting/graphing packages we have 
lined up in bugzilla. Not that it makes it any stronger with the list of 16 
already in portage :), but still is nice to have..

George
