Our strategy:

- Prominent display on the main page of a citation request, along with
links on our top nav-bar:
http://ipython.org/#citing-ipython

- A copy/paste ready citation entry: http://ipython.org/citing.html

Matplotlib has a 'canonical' paper back in the same CISE issue that
can be used, here's the bibtex entry for it (should probably be
trimmed only to the main fields):
