Hello,
I think we are talking of the same ideas:

Yes.

Yes. This merge could include only the API and the few accompaning
docs I wrote.

This will provide Massimo and contributers with the possibility to
check their docstrings and update these accordingly.

In a later effort, after the descion is made on what would happen with
the wiki and the FAQ, these could be included. Regard my current state
as a demostration.

Agree. But people need a possibility to see where their docstrings
need to be improved.

There is a clear standard: python docstring standard as in PEP257. The
numpy standard extends this. See an example here:
http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.arctan.html

If you fix the 360 somthing errors & warnings we currently have, we
are well off.

This has to be decided by the lead developers... I am too young here.

Good.

CU.
