Re: [matplotlib-devel] future of mpl documentation

[Fernando P. <fpe...@gm...>]

Hey folks,

I'm super excited about this, so I decided to give it a quick test run
with current trunk SVN.  Running ./make.py in the doc/ directory
worked for a while, and then stalled at:

I don't know if you are so in the middle of things that you'd rather
not get bug reports on this for a while.  If that's the case I'll wait
until the dust settles a bit.

In any case, many thanks for pushing this doc effort forward!  The
overall usability of the combined tools, in a few months, is going to
really be massively improved thanks to all  this common focus on
sphinx-based docs.

Cheers,
