For the 0.91 release, I have updated the web site, which had become woefully out of date. In addition to some 91 specific things like "what's new", credits and updating a bunch of links to point to pyplot, I also cleaned out some dead wood (removed numeric and numarray references, cleaned up installing and backends to an extent). I think a lot more needs to be done to get the site fully modernized (eg installing could use a lot more work, goals needs to be modernized), but if you see something egregious or otherwise in need of attention, let me know, because on these kinds of things it is good to strike when the iron is hot. Also, it has been a long time since I updated the credits page, so this too is very stale. If you are not mentioned there and would like to be, or if I have left out some significant contributions that you would like to see there, please drop me a blurb and I'll update it. JDH

Not to be a glory hog, but I spent a fair bit of time on backend_ps and backend_qt*. It seems like Eric's fingerprints can be found all over matplotlib, but I dont have a suggestion for what to add to his nugget. Darren

Great, thanks for he pointers -- in general I would like to give as much credit as possible to everyone who has contributed, so any omissions are merely oversight or laziness and not intentional slights. I've made a few additions to cover your suggestions, and feel free to make additions or updates as they occur to you for you or anyone else. JDH

Fernando wrote TConfig, which is so far the most difficult and elegant part of the new config package (aside from Traits itself).

Sorry, one more: James Amundson did the initial work on porting the qt backend to qt4.

Also, if you get a chance it would be great if you could update the basemap docs to the latest svn (I'll release 0.9.8 soon). -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.
