[Mathlib-develop] Introducing the Fiji project

[Johannes S. <Joh...@gm...>]

Hi JMathLib developers,

I am one of the developers of Fiji (http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/), an image 
processing suite based on ImageJ (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/).

As a lot of scientist use Matlab to prototype their image processing 
algorithms (and never manage to bring the algorithms out of prototype 
stage), it was pretty natural to try to find some way to run those scripts 
in Fiji.

A little search revealed JMathLib as a pretty mature Matlab clone without 
the licensing issues of the original.  Great job!

So we posted this as one of our GSoC ideas:

http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/wiki/index.php/SoC2009Ideas#Add_JMathLib_.28Matlab_clone.29_support

Roughly, the idea is to include JMathLib as-is, and override the image 
toolbox to access ImageJ structures.

We got accepted as an organization into the Google Summer of Code, but 
nothing definitive will be known about the accepted projects until April 
20th.

Ciao,
Dscho

P.S.: I am aware that one of our applicants sent a mail to this list, but 
I wanted to introduce us properly.
