Re: [matplotlib-devel] Alternative way of specifying plot layout

[Thomas C. <tca...@gm...>]

Currently we are doing MEPs on the wiki (
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/wiki/MEPTemplate) , but I would
like to move them to be in the docs (make a MEP folder next to 'users'?) as
the visibility on the wiki is low, there isn't a great way to leave line
comments, and we should have these documents in the official docs
eventually.
